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…

Raspberry Pi 2 now is a complete pc in a compact size, with a lot documentation and tutorials from the community and it costs almost nothing.
I choose Pi

dtsartsanis I beg to differ. Linux software knowledge is not a prerequisite for Raspberry Pi. He could download and install Openelec. Start it and be in full screen without typing any Linux command. Openelec turns the Raspberry Pi into a media center playing movies on USB or off the internet.

Yes i agree, but if u want to use it as a pc u have to install software through the command line or install Synaptic.And is not always easy for windows users to use the command line.
For me Raspi is a great tool to learn and explore Linux and other great projects.
