The MangoPi MQ-QUAD was «A True Raspberry Pi Zero 2 Competitor»

As we discussed previously on www.petergamma.org, the Orange Pi 5 is already a good alternative to the Rasbperry Pi 5 for specialized applications, and eventually also the Orange Pi Zero 2W:
But we currently did not find an alternative to the Raspberry Pi zero 2 w which would be interesting for us personally. But the Raspberry Pi zero 2 w was used also during Corona available on eBay for around 120 USD. Older or less popular Raspberry Pi s where on stock on eBay even during the last Corona. And we invite you to trust on the stock of Raspberry Pi s on eBay. Only the Rapsberry Pi 4 went up to around 200 – 300 USD, a price this SBC was not worth it for us personally. So if you stick now to the Raspberry Pi 4 until the Raspberry Pi 6 comes out, you should still find used devices on eBay during the next Corona, according to our own little experience during the last Corona.
We invite you to support the Orange Pi zero 2 w with armbian:
It has up to 4 GB Ram and runs fast. There is a comparison of these devices:
