Raspberry Pi’s continued success has proven that itty-bitty computers aren’t just a fad. That success has attracted a long list of competitors too, and that list grew this week with the official release of Hardkernel’s new Odroid-N2 single board computer.
Hardkernel announced the Odroid-N2 in February. The device comes in two variants: one with 2GB of RAM that costs $63 and one with 4GB that costs $79. Those versions are otherwise identical, so unless someone’s looking to minimize costs as much as possible, we suspect most people will spend the extra $16 to double the memory.
