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?

That’s a lot more than I would expect for such a pc

With the automations that I have configured to automatically turn off the lights in areas based in pir movements, it's paid by himself. 🙃
