SBC = RK3399 is the chip to look for

ARM is the future.
Now that we have this settled, if your looking to purchase a single board computer, hold on and wait for boards with = RK3399 from Rockchip like
The Next ODROID!

which is expected to arrive for nearly 100$
Perfect for RAID 1 on the cheap, or anything really.
performance, my old AMD ATHLON x750K scores= Octane Score: ~13,000
RK3399 chip scores =~ 10,000
in octane 2 google benchamrkODROID-N1 key features:

With a slick case, that would make a badass Kodi or Plex box.

I have a MakerSpace locally with free 3d printer use.... Need a case?

Not yet.... but I'll keep that in mind.

It would.

No WiFi on the board? Useless.

Huh ? the RK3399 is the CPU SOC just like with Intel and AMD, you usually dont have WiFi inside the CHIP.
There are many RK3399 implementations , I just post it ODRIOD cause it was listed.

The above has
The Orange Pi RK3399 feature set is very close to that of the Firefly-RK3399, with GbE, WiFi-AC, BT 4.1,That said, you really should not care about build in WiFi, cause you can use an WiFi USB, and find one with good chip like this:

I said on the board. not the chip. No shit, there is no WiFi in the SOC.

The point of buying a board based system is to not have everything hanging off of it. If there is no WiFi and Bluetooth, just don't bother.

I have to agree with Jared on this one. Once Raspberry PI started to incorporate the WiFi onto the board it was awesome. I looked at ODROID but the issue here is the cost. I mean I can do what I need to do with a Raspberry PI at a much cheaper cost. In the right scenario, ODRIOD would be the right choice. For myself, I don't see that happening, because once you have the ODROID all setup you could step up to a much better system for not that much more money.

Compared to Pi3 this chip = RK3399 paves the way for ARM desktop alternatives without any lags.

I think this is also branded as the OP1 or whatever from Google. It's the screamer for their top end Chromebooks.

I never use RPi as a desktop.
