Show context

Are the two boards even in the same category or class?

I use RPi for little hobby projects

- RPi Pico for being the payload that flies around the world in a PicoBalloon

- Decoding NOAA weather imagery and storing it in my Google Drive

- Full time AIS message decoder and tracker

- Full time ADS-B and MLAT receiver

- Runs my RetroPie setup

- Runs my OctoPrint setup

I wouldn’t replace much of that with an Intel NUC style computer

Why is that? Because you think the N100 isn't capable enough or for some other reason? Because N100 definitely can outperform a raspberry pi

But a pi pico is definitely a totally different thing. I don't think anyone here is talking about replacing a microcontroller with a PC

For the weather imagery one or any ham radio, it has to live outside which RPi is more suited such as RPi 3B

Is an Intel N100 or N150 a better value than a Raspberry Pi?
