This Mini PC has what??? - LattePanda Sigma

[@coletraintechgames2932]

Wow, this has so many ports, there must be boats everywhere!

[@RaidOwl]

Omg you’re so right!

[@Jakpe1Gaming]

​@@RaidOwl perhaps you could use it for kali or things for the raspberry Pi

[@NightHawkATL]

It is a nice little package but the price still hits me as too expensive for me but for someone wanting more power with just 2x the footprint of a Pi, it is a great device to go with.

[@RaidOwl]

Yeah I feel this. I mean I think it’s worth $600…but idk that it’s worth $600 to me.

[@lifefromscratch2818]

I could see this being useful for smart home stuff. You could run Home Assistant, using the GPIO coprocessor for stuff like ESPhome, and have the horsepower and expandability to run an NVR like Frigate with a Coral TPU, etc.

[@RaidOwl]

Do et ;)

[@totallynotgad]

that was my first thought too, if you can get those gpio pins to connect to some old alarm wire that would be perfect

[@cameronfrye5514]

This would be a good platform for development in an industrial environment. I don't know if it would be robust enough for production use, but this would have been handy back when I did some development work with automated pallet conveyor systems. We used to use a PC for data acquisition and monitoring connected to our controllers with a serial cable. Something integrated like this would eliminate a number of points of failure we dealt with.

[@benjamin1313]

Robotics. The microprocesser would be great for handeling leds, a PID regulator for motor control or just have it doing some low power operations. Then use the CPU for more compute heavy tasks like recoding, analysing and streaming video or hosting a web interface, database and simular stuff.

[@Jakpe1Gaming]

or Kali Linux 😉

[@gardnerunderhill3661]

With the right M2 board, I could see this as a NAS. One that would be more powerful than the ZinaBlade I am using now. I would use it in addition to my ZimaBlade.

[@JasonsLabVideos]

NICE !!! Love it !! Tiny footprint HUGE power !

[@JazzTechie]

I have one and actually use it for gaming (for now) with an nvidia RTX 4060 TI . Other uses I can think of would be the control board for a full size arcade cabinet like you see at dave and busters (the GPIO could be used to control fancy lighting while the compute can be used to run the game and backend software). Could similarly be used to run a slot machine and its buttons and lighting. Could use it to build a fancy cockpit where the GPIO is used to take input from various controls and switches, in addition to driving the displays. Could be used in an edge computing use case where the GPIO is used to interface with sensors. I can keep going haha.

[@NAMRETLAH]

Sounds like a solid platform for home labs. If you don't know what rabbit hole you want to go down that is.

[@cdnron75]

I agree. This is a cool little PC, but who is it really aimed for? Personally, I'd buy used HP or Lenovo mini PCs over this at a fraction of the price. I recently picked up three HP G3 mini PCs for $28 CAD each (without storage but I'd use my own anyways - with 1 x NVMe and 1 x SATA). They're not as powerful as the LattePanda Sigma but I don't need them to be, and they were a tiny fraction of the price. Plus they aren't much bigger than this. With exchange, the Sigma is about $800 CAD!. The Sigma is also essentially a throwaway device. I don't like devices that have soldered in RAM. On a cheap Raspberry Pi it's fine but the Sigma is a pricey SBC. RAM is one of the cheapest things to replace when it fails and when it fails on this, you have to buy a whole new device.

[@RaidOwl]

Yeah it’s definitely niche but if everything was just a boring rectangle then that’d be…boring haha.

[@wallyrogers2371]

So many port holes to stick a boat in! For that price though, it's not taking me away from the normal rectangle/squared ones.

[@epicBettsy]

Should have a look at a framework mainboard, they've got some of their older low cost boards starting around £200

[@RaidOwl]

I’ve had a framework in my cart so many times haha

[@epicBettsy]

@RaidOwl I've taken the plunge on 16 inch one. But some of the older 13 inch main board are on their outlet store

[@austinclement7934]

This thing has so many ports, there must be boats everywhere

[@johann8384]

I am looking at it for working with SDR radios like the Ettus B210 and Sidekick Z2 or MV100

[@jsharrad79]

It's a neat looking device. Thought about getting one for game streaming from my PCs in another part of the house to keep the heat away, but they are just too expensive. I could get a M2 Mac Mini for the same price and have a more polished experience.

[@TestamentToGod]

Wow, this thing has so many ports. I bet there’s boats everywhere!

[@henrysowell]

Great video as always man!

[@kevin-jm3qb]

lol speaking of bmw's. i wanted to integrate this to my GR supra. Canbus+flexray integration for diagnostics OTA software updates, datalogging, flashing tunes onto the ECU. Google maps, websurfing, and gaming for my passengers.

[@JzJad]

Oculink for the jank gpu setup!

[@carlchristenisnes6763]

THAT would be an excellent FW

[@rgvr007]

Does the inband ecc work exactly similar to regular ecc dimms? Is there a way to create hardware raid with intel rst driver, curious to know if sata and nvme can be paired up to form raid1.

[@zelllers]

7:25 - LattePanda DELTA LOL He made a mistake let's all point and laugh

[@dominick253]

Kinda regretting getting a pi 5 now. It's amazing and super fast. But arm is still annoying. Always something i want to do that is made for x86...

[@RaidOwl]

ARM is getting better every year but it’s still in its “tinker” stage. Unless you’re Apple…

[@Danghelo_]

What is the co-processor to control the gpio pins?

[@intetx]

How much does it weigh?

[@tonybeckett66]

Happy Thanksgiving!

[@RaidOwl]

You too!

[@CarAudioInc]

sigma delta BETA!!! great vids

[@toddblanchard7765]

Looks like one of those massive swiss army knives… fun for a minute, but not practical for heavy use

[@intertan]

what 62k subs already? it seems like a month ago you reached 20k

[@euphanasia210]

That’s interesting.

[@acubley]

I was hoping for AV1 encode, but CPU-Monkey say only decode. :-(

[@SmallBoxCentral]

What a strange looking Mini PC!

[@RaidOwl]

Agreed…it’s refreshing lol

[@YHK_YT]

I would use it as a coaster, it would be also the cheapest coaster i own (I have lots of money)

[@RaidOwl]

When I put my drink on the tailgate of my truck does that count as a coaster?

[@YHK_YT]

@@RaidOwl yes it’s a portable one but I enjoy it when I have a full time truck coaster

[@benjaminreynolds3659]

I'm on a boat!

[@RaidOwl]

T-Pain?

[@napoleonbonaparte-l5l]

Would LattePanda Sigma be useful for virtual machines, for example, Proxmox?"

[@RaidOwl]

Absolutely

[@HolyOllie]

hehe... sigma balls

[@euphanasia210]

There’s no 10GbE. 😤

[@syakitmc2813]

the price just to expensive

[@TheLordVyper]

I refuse to comment that.

[@GeeEmJay]

Very similar to UDOO Bolt - AMD Ryzen 5 mobile with VEGA 8 GPU, 2x HDMI, 1x GB Lan, 2x USB3, 2x USB C, built in AT32U4, SATA + SATA power, NVM, M2 and PCI-e

[@jangodemonica9065]

[@R1D9M8B4]

SORRY! I clicked off when he said $600 I was so interested. LOL!

[@RaidOwl]

Well good thing I put that at the end haha

[@dasmin1135]

Yes, it's obviously still a PC.

[@MikeMikeMikeM]

Blah blah blah

[@shephusted2714]

this is way overpriced - for spoiled rich kids - the low budget value refurb options are better - more cores, more ram - get this and zima board promo boards in 2-3 years

[@MyersJ2Original]

compairing this $600 mini to those you showed that were just about 1/4 of that is rediculous. Also this isnt new, its been out months.

[@RaidOwl]

What are you talking about? I showed those to compare the style of traditional mini PCs. Also, I never said it was new.
