THE BEST ALTERNATIVES TO THE RASPBERRY PI
THE BEST ALTERNATIVES TO THE

RASPBERRY PI
Six years after the release of the $35 Raspberry Pi computer, demand remains as strong as ever, with sales on
track to pass 18 million boards anytime now.
The Pi’s initial success stemmed from its being a budget board packed with enough computing power and
features to perform tasks ranging from controlling robots to running a media center, but its enduring popularity
results from its strong software support and extensive community, who help newcomers and have created a
wealth of tutorials and guides.
However, the Pi is not alone. A broad spectrum of single-board computers exists—some are similar to the Pi,
some are budget bare bones offerings, and others are more expensive but packed with improvements.
The quality of these boards varies greatly, as does the type of tasks they are suited to. This guide will walk you
through some decent options for Pi alternatives while also highlighting the drawbacks.
WHAT ARE THE STRENGTHS OF THE RASPBERRY PI?

The Pi’s primary strength is its ease of use compared to many rivals.
Years of work by the Raspberry Pi Foundation improving the Pi’s core software have created a default
operating system called Raspbian, which not only gets the best out of the Pi hardware but is loaded with free
software—both the everyday basics, like browsers and an office suite, and tools for learning to code.
Yet the official support is only half the story, with much of the board’s usability coming from the plethora of
community-created guides and tutorials—with the answer to many questions only a Google away. Beyond the
staunch community support, the Pi can be augmented by a broad ecosystem of boards and kits that extend its
capabilities, turning the board into everything from a robot to a virtual assistant.
The Pi also strikes a shrewd balance between price and capability. Co-creator of the board Eben Upton has
stated in the past that keeping the board affordable is very important, and its latest incarnation, the Raspberry
Pi 3 Model B+, manages to pack an awful lot into a $35 computer.
WHAT ARE THE SHORTCOMINGS OF RASPBERRY PI?

There hasn’t been a release of a new Raspberry Pi board since February 2016, and in the intervening years
some of the technologies that were too expensive for the Pi 3 have become affordable.
2
New boards have started to emerge that cram in features not found in the Pi 3: memory, faster processors,
Gigabit Ethernet, and support for 4K displays—onto boards costing $35 or close to it.
That said, the specs list often doesn’t tell the whole story. Upon testing, certain boards that outperform the Pi
on paper have been found wanting, due to bottlenecks in the system.
Poor software and driver compatibility is also a common complaint about Pi rivals, although some are far better
than others in this regard.
WHAT’S THE BEST CHEAP PI ALTERNATIVE?

Unfortunately, if you want a cheaper board than the Pi you’re going to have to compromise. Those boards that
have better hardware generally have far worse software support and those that have better software support are
generally missing some key hardware features.
If you don’t mind tackling issues with software and drivers, you could try the $29 Pine A64. On the face of
it the board has a lot of advantages over the Pi—combining Gigabit Ethernet and 2GB DDR3 RAM with
802.11n Wi-Fi support, a quad-core, Arm Cortex A53-based processor, and a pin header that is compatible
with hardware add-ons for the Pi boards.
There’s a big but, however: On release, the Pine64 was heavily criticized in several reviews for having such poor
software support that some reviewers couldn’t even get a working Linux desktop to boot.
Two years on and things seem to have improved, with the board’s Wiki listing working versions of Android 7.1
and Ubuntu Xenial with the Mate desktop—complete with office suite and browser—available for the board.
But there still seem to be issues, such as the Xenial build missing support for hardware acceleration for video.
WHAT IS A GOOD RASPBERRY PI ALTERNATIVE FOR THE

SAME PRICE?
For the same price as the Pi 3 Model B+, $35, the Odroid-C1+ offers broadly the same specs, but adds Gigabit
Ethernet. The C1+ packs a 1.5GHz quad-core Arm-based processor—faster than the Pi 3 but based on a
slightly older architecture—1GB of DDR3 RAM, and the reasonable-for-the-price Mali-450 GPU.
However, the Odroid does trail the Pi 3 in one notable respect, missing that board’s Wi-Fi connectivity.
A big plus for the computer is that the Odroid set of boards have a good reputation for the quality of their
operating systems and driver support. While its software support is good—including Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, the
LibreElec media center, and Android—some of operating systems are older versions, such as Android 5.1.
3
OTHER GOOD CHEAP PI ALTERNATIVES?

If you’re just after similar specs for a lower price, the Orange Pi range offers a lot, at least on paper.
The $25 Orange Pi Lite2 has similar specs to the more expensive Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+, with the same
memory, a 64-bit quad-core processor, reasonable GPU, support for 802.11ac Wi-Fi, 1GB memory and
Bluetooth 4.1 support. It even has several advantages over the Pi 3, at least on paper, such as a single USB 3.0
port, and support for Android 7.0.
THE ORANGE PI LITE2 (IMAGE: SHENZHEN XUNLONG SOFTWARE)
However, it trails the Pi in a couple of respects, with fewer USB ports and fewer pins for adding hardware to
the board and missing Ethernet.
The bigger caveat is that in general, Orange Pi board reviews are critical of poor driver support, missing
software, and being stuck with unstable versions of older operating systems, so only buy these boards if you’re
prepared to spend a lot of time trying to get software to work.
WHICH ARE CHEAP ALTERNATIVES TO THE RASPBERRY PI

ZERO W?
The $10 Raspberry Pi Zero W is one of the smallest and cheapest machines available, costing roughly the same
as a KFC Bargain Bucket and packing 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.0.
4
As such, it’s hard to find a machine to match it. That said, even though the Orange Pi boards do pack in a lot
of features for the money, they come with a less-than-stellar reputation when it comes to usability and software.
If you’re suitably confident you can deal with the technical hiccups, you might consider the Orange Pi Zero
H2, which sells for less than the $10 Raspberry Pi Zero W while still offering the 802.11n Wi-Fi and 10/100
Ethernet of the Pi board.
Available as a $7 or $9 board, the cheaper variant has 256MB RAM—half the memory of the Zero W. And
while the board might be slightly cheaper than the Pi Zero W, it lacks the Pi’s HDMI port, with the only audio-
visual interface being available via the board’s pins, meaning you’ll have to be reasonably proficient at tinkering
with hardware to hook it up to a monitor. This might be less of an issue for a device of this type, however, as
many users would remotely connect to the board via another computer.
THE ORANGE PI ZERO H2 (IMAGE: SHENZHEN XUNLONG SOFTWARE)
The $10 NanoPi Neo will cost you the same as a Raspberry Pi Zero W but lacks the Pi’s built-in Wi-Fi
and Bluetooth support, has half the memory (the 512MB version costs $12), and lacks a mini-HDMI. The
Allwinner H3 processor is based on a newer architecture than the Pi Zero W and clocked to run faster, and it
has 36 pre-soldered GPIO headers for hooking up to hardware. A 10/100M Ethernet port will let you remotely
connect to the board. So it’s a reasonable choice for tinkering with hardware or prototyping simple IoT devices.
5
WHAT IS THE CHEAPEST RASPBERRY PI ZERO

ALTERNATIVE?
One of the cheapest alternatives is probably the Orange Pi Zero H2 mentioned above, but it’s difficult to find a
board that combines the balance of hardware features and software support offered by the Pi Zero W, as is true
of the more expensive Raspberry Pi 3 Model B.
WHICH RASPBERRY PI ALTERNATIVES HAVE THE BEST

REPUTATION?
Odroid boards may cost a little bit more than the competition but generally have a good reputation for
being decent boards with a good operating system—Ubuntu and Android—and a range of decent bundled
software—browsers, office suite, and the like. One of the few downsides seems to be that boards like the
Odroid XU4 require additional add-ons to make its GPIO pins compatible with Raspberry Pi expansion boards
and add-ons.
WHAT IS THE BEST RASPBERRY PI ALTERNATIVE DUE OUT

IN 2018?
Some seriously powerful single-board computers are coming out in 2018, many of which are based on the
hexacore Rockchip RK3399 processor, which pairs beefy 2GHz dual-core Arm Cortex A72 cores with less
powerful quad-core 1.5GHz Arm Cortex A53 cores.
A good choice, based on the range’s previous track record, will likely be the Odroid-N1. As mentioned, the
board runs on a hexacore processor backed up by 4GB of memory, two USB 3.0 ports, and Gigabit Ethernet.
It will run Android 7.1 and Ubuntu 18.04, can be hooked to 4K displays via HDMI 2.0, and has two SATA
3.0 ports for fast storage access and 40 GPIO pins for connecting homemade hardware. The board, due out
around the middle of this year, basically offers most of the specs of the $449 Samsung Chromebook Plus in a
$110 board.
Of course, the $110 price tag may push it out of the realm of Raspberry Pi competitors in many people’s
eyes, so a better choice might be holding on for Odroid makers Hardkernel to release the N1 Lite, which it
anticipates will be a $75 board, with the same specs apart from having 2GB RAM and no SATA ports.
If you can’t wait, the forthcoming RockPro64 board has similar specs to the Odroid-N1, minus the SATA
ports, and is due out in March for the lower price of $79. However, in contrast to the general good reputation
of Odroid, reviews of a 2016 board from the makers of the RockPro64 criticized the “sparse” software and
documentation.

WHAT ARE THE MOST USEFUL APPLICATIONS FOR

RASPBERRY PI?
The Raspberry Pi is nothing if not versatile, with uses ranging from media center to lightweight gener-
al-purpose computer to cheap machine for prototyping gadgets.
Of the myriad alternative single-board computers available, there are machines that double down on each of
these specialties—here are your options.
WHAT IS THE BEST RASPBERRY PI ALTERNATIVE FOR A

MEDIA CENTER?
The $25 Rock64 Media Board is great value for a board that can manage 4K playback of local video—that
is stored on your hard drive rather than streaming over the internet—at 30fps in various video formats. It
handles 1080 playback of YouTube video via the built-in media player in the Android 7.1.2 OS that runs
on the board. One rather big downside is that reviews found a lack of working apps on the OS, with major
streaming sites like Netflix not working. So maybe it’s a good choice if you’re only interested in streaming video
stored locally or you’re willing to spend a lot of time tinkering to get software working.
If you’re willing to pay a bit more, the $46 Odroid C2 is likely a better choice. The C2 is 2—10x faster than the
Raspberry Pi 3 according to tests, has double the memory of the Raspberry Pi 3, Gigabit Ethernet, supports
4K displays via HDMI 2.0, together with up to 32 channel audio.
7
While it lacks Wi-Fi support, users report the board performs well as a media center, smoothly playing back
local 1080p and 4K HEVC files and with support for streaming services such as Netflix—and running the
Ubuntu, Android, and the media center software LibreElec.
THE ODROID-C2 (IMAGE: ODROID)

ROUTER?
A reasonable option, thanks to its prioritising of fast data transfer over other uses, is the $35 NanoPi Neo
Plus2. While it lacks HDMI or other audio-visual out ports, it sports Gigabit Ethernet, 802.11n Wi-Fi,
Bluetooth 4.0 support, a quad-core Cortex A53 Allwinner H5 processor, 1GB DDR3 RAM, and 8GB of
eMMC onboard storage.

HOME SERVER OR NAS?
Fast storage is important when you’re pulling a lot of data from the board, such as when running the board
as a file server. While most of the boards with SATA support cost three figures, putting them outside the
designation of a Pi alternative, there is a growing number of low-cost computers with USB 3.0 support, which
you can hook an SSD to get better data access speeds than is possible on the Pi.
8
A decent choice of board with two USB 3.0 ports, 2GB memory, gigabit Ethernet, and an octa-core processor
is the $59 Odroid XU4.
If you’re willing to really push the boat out, the $135 UDOO Quad has built-in support for SATA, although at
several times the cost of the Pi it’s not really a rival board. As mentioned, the $110 Odroid-N1 will also pack
two SATA 3.0 ports when it arrives later this year.
There are some low-cost options with SATA support, such as the $35 Banana Pi M1+, which has an older
SATA 2.0 port, although a USB 3.0 board like the XU4 would probably be a better option.

DESKTOP PC REPLACEMENT?
The Pi 3 Model B+ is a reasonable choice for a budget, full desktop computer replacement. But while the Pi’s
official Raspbian desktop OS runs smoothly and includes the necessary office suite and browser, some may
find the Pi’s periodic slowdowns on today’s script and video-heavy websites start to grate after a while.
That’s obviously fine, as the Pi is so cheap and wasn’t really created with this use in mind. But if you want to
use an alternative board as a desktop computer, it’s worth shelling out a little bit more for something like the
$54 Odroid XU4, which runs Ubuntu 16.04 with the Mate desktop and is bundled with various software, using
GPU acceleration to boost performance.
If browsing the web and content consumption are your primary goals, though, you might be better going with
the Asus Chromebit compute stick or the Intel NuC mini-PC recommended below.

RETRO-GAMES EMULATOR?
The Odroid boards seem to be a decent choice for retro-gaming, with both the $46 Odroid C2 and the $59
Odroid XU4 supporting the RetroPie gaming platform, which bundles a wide range of Arcade, home-console,
and classic PC game emulators.
Both seem to perform better than the Raspberry Pi 3, with the Odroid XU4 able to smoothly emulate newer
console games, such as Goldeneye on the N64, Streetfighter on the Dreamcast, and Kingdom Hearts on
the PSP.
One downside is that Bluetooth and Wi-Fi support are not built into the XU4 or C2, so you’ll need to use a
USB dongle for wireless connectivity.

WHAT IS THE BEST RASPBERRY PI ALTERNATIVE FOR

HOMEMADE IOT GADGETS?
If you’re after a super simple machine, the $10 NanoPi Neo mentioned above is a reasonable choice, providing
you’re happy working with wired rather than wireless connectivity. If you want Wi-Fi, there is the $8 NanoPi
Duo ($12 with 512MB memory), whose Allwinner H2+ CPU is clocked at a faster speed than the Pi Zero W,
has a newer processor architecture, and whose two pre-soldered pin headers offer 32-pins for hooking up to
hardware. However, it lacks the Pi’s mini-HDMI port and Bluetooth support.
If you don’t mind spending a little bit more, there’s the $35 NanoPi Neo Plus2, which also offers 32 pins
spread across two headers.
If you want something with a bit more oomph and are willing to spend more than double the cost of the Pi 3,
there’s the $99 Up Core.
The computer has a quad-core 1.8GHz Intel Atom x5-Z8350 processor, 1GB memory, one USB 3.0 port,
and 16GB eMMC storage. However, the ace up the board’s sleeve are the 100 pins available for hooking up
additional boards and other custom hardware, compared with the 40-pin header available on the Pi. The UP
Core’s high-speed expansion connector includes pins for UART, SPI, 2 x USB HSIC, PCI-Express, GPIO, Intel
Sensors Hub, SDIO, and 5V Power.
10

HARDWARE MAKERS?
The $99 Up Core board listed above offers a lot of options for connecting up hardware, but if you’re an
amateur maker you should check out the Beagle Boards and Arduino.
A good starting place is the Pocket Beagle, a tiny $25 board well suited to prototyping electronics due to its
extensive hardware expansion options—although you will need to solder on the pin headers yourself. The
board offers 2 x 36-pin headers (unpopulated) with USB 2.0 OTG, 8x analog inputs, 44x digital GPIOs, 3x
UARTs, 2x I2C, 2x SPI, 4x PWM, 2x quadrature encoder inputs, 2x CAN bus, 23x programmable PRU I/O
pins, 3x voltage inputs for battery, USB, power line, and 2x voltage output (3.3V LDO + 1x voltage input).
In other respects, it’s not the most powerful or feature rich board, with no Wi-Fi or Ethernet, no on-board
storage and half the memory of the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+.
THE POCKET BEAGLE (IMAGE: BEAGLEBOARD.ORG)
A favorite for makers is Arduino, a project that provides hardware, software, and community support for
people who want to create DIY electronics.
Arduino lends its name to a range of programmable microcontroller boards, which serve as the brains of these
homemade devices. The boards can be wired into circuits, where they can interact with lights, sensors, motors,
microphones, buttons, and any other component you want to include in your homespun appliances. For
instance, you could use an Arduino to build a motion-controlled video camera or to remote-control the lights
in your sitting room.
11
A good choice for beginners is the Arduino Uno, which is a bit of an all-rounder, relatively cheap (€20, or
about $22), with enough digital and analog pins to get you started on building electronics, and a raft of relevant
tutorials available online.
Adding new features to the board can be straightforward, with the easiest option being to use a shield, an
expansion board that slots directly into the Arduino’s pin headers. Shields can add an array of features, ranging
from Zigbee wireless connectivity to an SD card reader.
WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN ARDUINO AND

RASPBERRY PI?
While the $35 Raspberry Pi is often mentioned in the same breath as Arduino, due to its superficially similar
appearance and equally low price tag, there are significant differences between the Arduino and the Pi.
Arduinos are based around microcontrollers and Raspberry Pi is based around a microprocessor connected
to on-board RAM and other features. While both boards can control electronics attached to their pins, the
Pi is also capable of being run as a full desktop computer. However, the Arduino arguably has the advantage
of being simpler to use to make electronic prototypes and to swap out for a new microcontroller in the final
product.
WHAT IS THE BEST RASPBERRY PI ALTERNATIVE FOR IMAGE

RECOGNITION AND AI?
Due to their limited processing power, the Pi and its rivals are of limited use for running machine-learning
models, although this could change with the release of the Intel Movidius Compute Stick.
And while training machine-learning models may still be the preserve of more powerful machines, using boards
to run pre-trained models to carry out AI-reliant tasks, such as image recognition, should get easier with the
release of the the RockPro64-AI.
This forthcoming board features a hexa-core processor, with cores clocked at up to 2GHz, and packs a
dedicated Neural Network Processing Unit (NPU).
Makers Pine64 says this NPU can accelerate the performance of deep neural network models—such as
Inception V3, ResNet-34, and VGG16—by almost 100x, with a peak performance of 2.4 TOPS (trillion opera-
tions per second), while also being more efficient than using GPUs.
The RockPro64-AI board, will be available from August 1st for $99, however it’s worth bearing in mind
criticisms of earlier Pine64 boards for poor software support.
12

LEARNING CODING?
Already used in schools across the UK, the matchbox-size BBC micro:bit is designed to make it easy for kids
to write simple programs to control the board’s hardware, with creations to date including basic games and
animations.
The device packs a 25 LED matrix display, a motion sensor, an accelerometer, and two buttons onto a tiny
4cmx5cm board. It can be programmed using easy-to-grasp tools, such as the drag-and-drop programming
environment Scratch, or if the user is more confident, by coding in a variety of languages, including JavaScript
and MicroPython.
Individual boards are available for $13.54, with a discount for buying in bulk.
WHICH LAPTOPS ARE THE BEST ALTERNATIVES TO THE

RASPBERRY PI?
It’s practically impossible to find a good laptop for anywhere near the price of the Raspberry Pi, but for those
in the market for a decent budget laptop, ZDNet’s Steven Vaughan-Nichols recommends the $223.99 Lenovo
ThinkPad 13 Chromebook.
Similar in price to some of the more expensive single-board computers, it’s a 13.3-inch machine with a
1,366x768-resolution display, two USB 3.0 ports, a 1.60GHz Intel Celeron 3855U processor, 4GB of DDR3
RAM, and 16GB SSD. The Chrome OS also includes Google’s G Suite of productivity tools, such as Google
Doc, Gmail, and Google Calendar.
WHICH MINI-PCS ARE THE BEST ALTERNATIVE TO THE

RASPBERRY PI?
There are better mini-PCs out there, but the Intel Nuc Tall Arches Canyon NUC6CAYH is one of the
cheapest, while still being roughly three times the price of the Pi.
The performance of its Intel Celeron processor J3455 won’t set the world on fire, but the 1.5 to 2.3GHz
processor is no slouch relative to the Pi and its competitors and can output to 4K displays via HDMI. It has
four USB 3.0 ports and one SATA 3.0 connector for fast storage and 802.11ac Wi-Fi, putting it ahead of most
other boards in this roundup.
13
WHICH INTERNET TV STICKS ARE THE BEST ALTERNATIVE

TO THE RASPBERRY PI?
Despite its modest specs by PC standards, the $85 Chromebit has enough features to trounce many Pi rivals,
albeit at a price more than double that of the Pi 3.
The device is powered by a 1.8GHz Rockchip 3288 chip, has 2GB RAM, 16GB storage, and 802.11ac Wi-Fi
support, and plugs into the HDMI port of a TV or monitor.
While 16GB doesn’t offer much space to store files, it is, like other Chromebooks, designed primarily as a cloud
device with Google’s Chrome browser at the centre of the experience.
WHAT ARE ALTERNATIVES TO THE RASPBERRY PI COMPUTE

MODULE?
The Raspberry Pi Compute Module 3 (CM3) packs the same 1.2GHz quad-core Broadcom BCM2837
processor, VideoCore IV GPU, and 1GB memory used on the Pi 3 onto a slimmer and smaller board.
The CM3’s compact design, the same size as a DDR2 small outline dual inline memory module, is suited to
being built into electronic appliances.
There are limited alternatives to the CM3, but one option is the $29 SOPINE A64, which includes the same
quad-core Arm Cortex A53-based processor used in the Pine A64 single-board computer, along with 2GB of
LPDDR3 RAM memory. These are packed into the SODIMM-DDR3 form factor—again more commonly
used for sticks of memory in PCs. Like the CM3, the idea is to allow hardware makers to incorporate the board
into appliances.
WHAT ARE THE COOL ALTERNATIVES TO THE RASPBERRY

PI THAT AREN’T WELL KNOWN?
The $119 LattePanda is a good deal more expensive than the Raspberry Pi 3 but has several notable differences.
Firstly, it runs the full desktop version of Windows 10, not the limited Windows 10 IoT Core version that runs
on the Pi. It uses an Intel Atom Cherry Trail Z8300 processor, packs a USB 3.0 port, and has an Arduino-
compatible co-processor that allows it to be used like an Arduino board to control electronics attached to its 20
GPIO pins.
However, it’s not all good news. While Linux-based operating systems run on the board, they are not officially
supported, it’s not always faster than the Pi when running open-source software, and there are reports here and
14
here that the board overheats without additional cooling, resulting in the processor being throttled to a slower
speed. And while it uses the same chip as the Intel Compute Stick, some tests have found the Intel Compute
Stick performs better in benchmarks.
THE LATTEPANDA (IMAGE: DFROBOT)
CAN YOU USE A RASPBERRY PI CASE WITH RASPBERRY PI

ALTERNATIVES?
Sometimes. Many of the boards imitate the size, profile, and board layout of the full-size Raspberry Pi family
of boards to be compatible with cases for the boards. However, it’s always worth checking online before
ordering a case, as even slight deviations from the layout could mean the case doesn’t fit.
CAN YOU USE RASPBERRY PI HARDWARE ADD-ONS WITH

RASPBERRY PI ALTERNATIVES?
In a similar fashion, lots of boards offer an identical pin header to the Pi family of boards to improve
compatibility of the boards with Pi add-ons. It’s worth checking the specs listing to see if the pins on the
alternative board are designated as Raspberry Pi-compatible, and even then it’s worth doing more research
online to check the success people have had using Raspberry Pi add-ons with the board in question.
15
WHAT ARE SOME OF THE BIGGER COMPETITORS TO

RASPBERRY PI BOARDS?
This article highlights some of the best rival boards, but if you’re curious to check out more, here is a list of
some of the better-known competitors and their computers:
Beagleboard, Banana Pi, Cubieboard, PandaBoard ES, Pine64, Rock64, NanoPi, Odroid, ASUS Tinker Board,
UP Core, UDOO, Bubblegum-96, Inforce 6410Plus, MediaTek X20, HiKey 960, and Onion Omega.
