minus-squareCredibly_Human@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·1 day agoIts not a bad comparison to make at all when comparing price. Small form factor is not a huge challenge for a computer using this little power. As for the other features, no one is pretending its precisely the same device. Thats why its a comparison.
minus-squarepscamodio@feddit.itlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·6 hours agoI really not agree here. The final experience have to take into account all of that. If it’s a device I just want to plug toy tv and enjoy all those features may hold higher value than more ram. It’s like comparing two cars looking only at the engine. Discarding of one has AC and the others don’t. Maybe for a thinkerer that could be a sensible comparison but for a non thinkerer like myself now (I used to be) those features holds a lot of value.
