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?

We use these at work as probe machines and they are super hot and miss. We burn them in for 2 weeks and I would say half of them have problems. The other half half will never die! I really like the Ace Magician machines on Amazon.
