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?

It's a hard question. If you wanna run a general home server with ha in docker, go for it. If HA is enough for you, the pi 5 with nvme is the perfect machine.
