Why is for Swiss on a budget who need a SCB for daily use the LattePanda V1 the better Raspberry Pi alternative than the Orange Pi 5?

Last Updated on March 18, 2024 by pg@petergamma.org

  • Digitec sells Raspberry Pi’s and LattePandas, but not the Orange Pi 5. In Switzerland, only Techstudio sells the Orange Pi 5 starting from 300 USD:
  • These are offers with 24 month warranty which is highly desirable if we use SBCs for daily use.
  • LattePanda V1 is stable in prices since a long time.
  • The Lattepanda Delta increased in price at Digitec when we showed there interest in it.
  • From DFRobot or other shops the LattePanda Delta costs around 150 USD less than at Digitec
  • This is a big price difference for a SBC which is sold for 300 USD elsewhere.
