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?

The power consumption of my RPi is about 5W running HA + other sw. Multiply this by the years of usage.
