That is nothing, check the Orange Pi Zero: http://www.orangepi.org/orangepizero/



Not much RAM but perfect for most headless projects

Orange Pi software support sucks.

Orange Pi software support sucks.

The idea is that you make the software for it. It's a much more complicated and specialised device than the normal Pi.

The Raspberry Pi is targeted to general consumers / schools. This one is a "knockoff" targeted at high level industrial / automation users

After owning one and seeing how many others had endless issues with basic support from the manufacturer, I still say it sucks.

I love the orange Pis

They are priced at what Rpi should have been priced if RS electronics didnt inflate the prices the way they do, it is literally cheaper to get a Raspberry Pi 3 from china than to get one locally from china.

The Pi one that I have has some great distributions , and can do pretty much exactly what Pi can, and there are some great distros, plus for $23 you get it, a case, and a PSU.
