The most difficult decision all day...

To me the worst part of those boards are the small memory. 1 GB just isn't enough. 😕

Yea, the Banana has Gbit Ethernet though, and SATA...

Yeah, what a decision. Cheap new Chinese hardware with proven root backdoors in the vendor image, versus established British-developed hardware backed by a major chip manufacturer and nonprofit foundation who contribute back to related open source projects. How ever will you choose.

ez buy both

I want the Banana Pi R2 so bad
