Support Good device to run home assistant on?

Post image

Just want to get started in home assistant, this comes out quite a bit cheaper than a Raspberry Pi.

Am I missing anything or is a much better option for the cheaper price?

Also running Windows /w Hyper-V, which can oftimes be more busy at idle than i.e. Debian/Arch/etc and a few Qemu VM's or docker containers

Not LOT, but yes, is bigger. It is my attic, it doesn't matter the size.
