      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?

                  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.
