Rock Pi X by Radxa
The most bang for your buck with embedded computing! This is probably the most impressive single board computers (SBC's) that we've experienced for the price. This is similar to the Up Board and LattePanda, but more affordable.
Because this board runs Microsoft Windows, it can also run ARC directly. There is an audio jack for speakers and an HDMI for video.

Maybe you could take on that role DJ selling things that work with Synthiam shop.
No way lol. I’ll never touch hardware again. Worst business to be in.
Another month gone by and still they have not shipped, just says processing. They showed they were in stock when I ordered. At this point I can not recommend these guys. No information, no updates, nothing.
Weird! I ordered one on Jan 12th, it took a week to process and another week to ship and receive it, but yeah I got mine eventually. I ordered from Seeed.
*Edit: I also got hit for an extra $26 CAD in import fees
OH Joy. Maybe I can cancel.
Tried to cancel and they said you can't we just shipped it today, here is your tracking number....
Ouch....that really sux @Nink. I noticed that they just got the Rock Pi X heatsink back in stock. Maybe they ran out and failed to tell you until the next stock came in.
Perhaps I did order one as well. Lugging the NUC around on a robot is becoming a pain 19 volts requires two 3S LIPOs in series and I have already killed a couple by over discharging them. Hopefully it all works out in the end.
