Move over, Raspberry! Banana Pi is the new contender
Over the past few years Raspberry Pi mini computers have enjoyed the majority of market share within the developer community. The Raspberry Pi has established itself as the go-to computer. Many have since tried to emulate its success, with a wealth of similar mini computers introduced to the market, but few have made the same impact. But, can the new Banana Pi M2 Berry finally be a contender to the Raspberry Pi? Author: Sven Pannewitz, Product M...
