The intel nucs are a great deal for the price, probably do want one of those at some point… pi 4 is selling for 190 (8gb) 170 (4gb) and looking at mini pcs that have 8gb for 100-150 as an alternative

what is the rectangle ports on the intel nuc’s is that gpio?

They even sell one barebone (with out ram for 160) with 8gb for 209

Years of consumer pc shopping it’s hard to let my mind by something labeled celeron in 2023

Yah it must be i3 or above

is this not a rubber cap that covers up some pin out (maybe not gpio) but some pin out?

I'd probably rather use a audino anyways so as to build an external device that is then modular with anything with USB, but can't find anything online what that rectangle is, maybe it's just a power button?

hmmm do not have on either of mine

I did at one point consider Intel NUC. I was about to buy them because of their reliability and great service support. However, I was lucky enough to find a Lenovo M75q gen2 tiny miniPC for a good price running Ryzen and a good integrated GPU performance for some minor gaming. I'm currently running Ubuntu 22.04 on it.

I love everything system76 too! Great builds there as well.
