NanoPi NEO4

Following FriendlyELEC previous launch of their NanoPC-T4 and NanoPi M4 boards based on the RK3399 SoC, the company continues its latest product line with a very small form factor SBC called the NanoPi NEO4. The new board is expected to be low cost with well-balanced specs for most end users.

The company provides Image support for Ubuntu Desktop 18.04(64-bit), Lubuntu 16.04(32-bit), Ubuntu Core 18.04(64-bit) and Lubuntu Desktop with GPU and VPU acceleration for the board, as well as the usually detailed documentation in their Wiki.  Note there appears to be only a 1GB RAM version available, so the board may not be suitable for all applications, but if you are after something inexpensive and still high performance in processing power compared to the Raspberry Pi boards, then this is a good and cheap alternative.

FriendlyELEC currently offers the board for $45.00 plus shipping, with the usual standard accessories at an extra cost considering, such as a 16GB EMMC Chip module, power supply, power/data cable, and a very massive yet effective passive cooling heating unit made from aluminum which costs $5.99 that I personally recommend buying.
