Review on Studio Jetson Developer Computer Development by Deonte Bates

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Interesting single board computer for AI research

Beginning to show its age in the rapidly changing AI computing arena. Still a great price around $100. Not the easiest SBC to use, but if you're familiar with Ubuntu Linux you won't have a problem with it. There are many helpful guides out there that can save you a lot of time getting started. The Nvidia Jetson forum contains a lot of useful, searchable information. Even with a Maxwell GPU, it's not a "supercomputer" but is very effective as a development system. You can use the Jetson Nano as an all-in-one Linux computer to run a small server, NAS or firewall, but you can probably do it even cheaper with a Raspberry Pi 4 or an Intel Atom SBC. Jetson does not run x86 code (Intel processor). It uses a quad-core ARM processor and a Maxwell GPU.

Pros
  • Feels good
Cons
  • Not the best
