But if desktop replacement is the use case? Skip. I have several Pi's around the house doing various things.
While a Pi 4 is usable on the desktop, the moment you start doing anything heavier on the web it will be frustrating to use. Is transcoding important? That's up to you.Īs a desktop replacement? Honestly: no competition. For a Plex machine? Hmm, that's tougher since the Pi won't be able to transcode as much or at all. That's certainly something, but enough to warrant the VASTLY different amount of performance? That depends on what you're doing with it.įor a PiHole, or a PiAware it's a no brainer. But over a year, it's $30 extra in electricity. So, as expected, the PC uses ALOT more power. Default login for a Raspberry Pi is login: pi password: raspberry In past HS images this was left intact, so. Ubuntu 20.04 / VB W7e Jetway JBC420U591 Fanless Intel® Celeron N3160 SoC 8Gb HS4 Pro - V4.1.18.1 - Ubuntu 20.04/VB W7e 64 bit Intel Kaby Lake CPU - 32Gb. Pi: $0.13/kWh * 0.004kW = $0.00052 / h * 8760 h = $4.552 / year Here is a remote connection via OpenVPN with two PFSense boxes to house 2. Using $0.13/kWh (adjust as necessary, that's the rate I'm paying): The Pi uses around 4W, the PC, around 30W, a MASSIVE difference. Yup, power usage is different, MUCH different, but it makes sense to do the math. If you want a small box behind a TV a RaspPi is obviously a lot better form factor too than one of these old PC cases. So, if you want to run an always on solution for a server/etc can make sense to have a Pi and also obviously takes up a lot less room. I didn't watch the whole video but I skipped around and he shows the power consumption and that is a HUGE difference.
