statorworks 345 You lucky person... my first computer had an 8 bit, 3.5mhz Z80 CPU and one Kilobyte of RAM. A Sinclair ZX81, bought in 1981 or '82. A mono cassette recorder to load and save programs, plugged in to a 12 inch black and white TV. Then I had a 16K ram pack for Christmas. A massive 16K of memory, that occasionally wobbled. 😁

Dave W It's not how you decide to pronounce it. The word is in Spanish, not English. You pronounce it as *Ma-téh.* It's a type of tea that comes from South America. The plant name is _Yerba_ _Maté._ It's not like pronouncing "potayto" or "potahto".

Great video and review. Chris! Also fun that Mr. Scissors not only got a cameo he got an encore! I've been interested in the XU4 for about a year now. In your comparison video when you run it against the Pi3 and maybe the Asus board i'd be interested to see if performance per watt of current used can be calculated. Everybody on youtube seems to want to bill this thing as a "Pi3 Killer!!". But if the development doesn't stick around neither will the board. The Pi has always had a good community development support. And likely will for the foreseeable future. I REALLY Like the XU4, though, and would like to see it stick around and not get lost in the flood of single board computers that are out there because there sure are plenty of them.

These things would be viable destop replacements for general browsing and office work IF they came with more RAM, that's what really lets them down. Why can't they put a laptop memory slot on them? Send them with like 1GB as standard, and when you put a dimm into it, it uses that instead and ignores the onboard ram.

I use these as a voip PBX for example, one of these will easily support 50 concurrent calls with plenty left in the tank. Add an SSD and this thing really flies.

I can't wait for the follow-up video on this SBC because it looked like it was running Ubuntu Mate at snail's pace. My first impression based entirely on this video is that given the peripherals, this is just more of a mini desktop. I think it would have a difficult time practically running the "Devestator Robot". When adding all the accessories, this SBC is far from economical.

Mate, I'm not sure which UHS-1 cards you're using but I bought some 32GB el-cheapos from a supermarket rated 633x that read/write at 80MB/sec, specifically for the purpose of booting my XU4. You can buy microSD cards rated at 270MB/sec nowadays. XU4s eMMC is a proprietary, two year old interface and all of the flash memory is that age, too. To emphasize: Odroid is the only technology you'll ever see use that type of cartridge, and you're being sold two year old flash at an expensive price because it needs to be expensive to produce and test that interface. They'll tell you they can't sell you a blank one (without the OS) for cheaper because they need to test that it works. I suppose the testing could justify some of the extra cost, but it doesn't make sense to even use the interface nowadays. Not when you can buy a microSD card which has the same read speed and FASTER writer speed for the same price...

the stock heatsink is a bit minimal, and on some heavy loads the SOC still throttles back some unless a larger fan and heatsink is used. Overall I've been really happy with the XU4 for about a year now as a secondary computer to look stuff up on or just to display chip specs/pinouts on. It even does ok with watching online vids.

+ExplainingComputers / Christopher, Bit disappointed that you didn't explain about the tech. specs. or cost of this device. One of my bug bearers about this device is the lack of GPIO pins.

Actually, you might be able to help me out, recently I have been reading a lot about NFC on microSD cards but am having a hard time finding a vendor for these cards and wondering if you have any ideas about this sort of hardware?

I knew of this SBC, but I had not seen a video about it. This SBC peaks my interest mostly because my first smartphone was a Samsung Galaxy S5, the international version, so it had the Exynos5422 SOC. It was a great phone, lasted a long time. I hope to find the video with the benchmarks on it. It would be nice if you would combine them all into one video, the unboxing, benchmarking, comparisons, etc. In the description of the video, you mentioned you call it a 64-bit system but the cores are 32 bit. I do not remember hearing that, the memory isn't actually 64-bit, per se, it is dual channel 32-bit. Is that considered 64-bit?? Have a good day!!

The Pi is designed to be a very low cost, low power and silent computer - it doesn't even need a heat sink let alone a fan. The XU4 costs twice as much; aimed at a different market. The Pi is king because of price, outstanding software/OS support, and especially the massive number of HAT add-on boards. Can't see this changing any time soon, although I agree they should consider releasing a more powerful Pi as an additional SKU to compete with the likes of XU4... There isn't really anything that can compete with the Pi zero range yet, I mean that thing was given away FREE with a magazine!

Seeing a "real cooling system" on this board has me really excited is there a chance you can do a comparison with latte panda and a few others and let us know what the most usable desk top/laptop substitute would be thank you for the awesome work

Full sized USB A socket, not USB 2, although it will have USB 2.0 on it I would guess. USB 2.0 is the protocol, but the HW standard is USB-A which is a host socket. Sorry for being pedantic but I think it pays to stick to industry standard terms/names

Yes, I am well aware that USB 2.0- is the protocol. But, for the vast majority of users, the distinction is between a USB 2.0 port and a USB 3.0 port. The more detail of the type you note I include in a video, the more cumbersome and longer the video gets, the less accessible, the fewer people watch, and the weaker it becomes as a means of communication. I think very carefully about the level of detail to include in a video for the intended audience.

Question, have you ever looked at pine64 products? Reason is i just noticed something called the pinebook which I came across because another laptop claiming to be most affordable was a lapdock fro 120

Out of curiosity, is this a true octa-core or is it a little-big setup, like you see commonly in phones, where only 4 cores are ever on at once? If it is a little-big configuration, then that is just 4 wasted cores for anyone who isn't powering it off a battery.

I have done some tests on this now (video posts a week on Sunday), and it is true octa-core.

Curiously, the OS download page (as well as this video) are silent on whether each Linux build is 64 bit, or 32. Of course, on small-memory SBCs usually 32 bit is usually a better choice, but the exist some software that is only available for 64. Would I need to do a custom OS build myself?.

You made no comment regarding wifi. Is it just a case of inserting the dongle? Does the os have drivers for it? I ask because I have a panda usb adapter and wondered if I would need to obtain drivers. Thank you.
