Nice work.

Hi John,

Great video! During normal use, the heatsink is barely warm, and stays that way over the course of a day.

The board is blazing-fast during use - for all usual desktop activities it appears as fast as a normal PC.

Not bad considering it is a fraction of the price!

I've also done some fairly long compiles and have noticed that it compiles at about the speed of a fairly recent i5 laptop. (I didn't do any measurement, they were typical files - a few hundred files of C code).

Incredible how much power is inside that tiny board, with a smaller footprint than a credit card.
