    Even mSATA might require some soldering, if the device is "non-compliant" http://www.element14.com/community/community/designcenter/single-board-computers/gizmo2/blog/2015/01/30/gizmo2-installing-ssd-and…

    Gizmo 2 is using a x86 processor which means that u can install windows.So if u are not familliar with Linux software and u can spend $199 go for it. Raspberry Pi 2 now is a complete pc in a compact size…

    I tried Chromium on another ARM board - SABRE Lite which I had obtained thanks to element14 . The ARM board is good enough for most use cases. But unfortunately pepper-flash was not available packaged…

    To start, it really depends on what you want to do, With that said, I would go with Raspberry Pi 2 because it only uses 5 watts while the Gizmo’s  10 watts. The Pi can handle video streaming very well hitting 30 fps at 1080p. Now with more memory things get even more flexible. Check out this blog What are you doing for Pi day? 3.14.15 (US) which shows different boards calculating Pi. Sorry no Gizmo and only one processor is tested, but you can get a feel for changing to newer ARM7 instead of older ARM6/
