Review on πŸ’₯ Enhanced ODROID XU4 with Active Cooling System and Reliable Power Supply by Philip Breeze

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Good but not great

I bought one of these to try out a few home projects, mainly to use as a minecraft server but also as a retro arcade game. It works a little better than the Raspberry Pi3, but there's very little support, so you'll have to do a lot of troubleshooting or look for information yourself rather than having ready-made images that you can just download. I have yet to try the pi4 but the pi4 specs are said to be better than this xu4 and cheaper in price so there really is no reason to buy this xu4 anymore. It's also larger than the Raspberry Pi, so if you're trying to keep the build small it's best to use a Raspberry anyway. At this point I really see no reason to buy them.

Pros
  • Excellent construction
Cons
  • Something different
