Do I feel sarcasm? Because I actually struggle to set up my Pi5 with the M2 hat I got 🥲.

Just curioys, why wouldn't you buy say a 50€ thinkcentre instead or a raspberry?

hmmm I'm not sure now 😅

I'm using the RPi for other projects but this one was for a server and I might not have put much thought for the hardware

But I've never seen a mini PC that cheap though?

Same reason as any other mini PC.

GPIO.

Honestly there is no other reason to use pi. Just the simple ability ti connect and build your own connection stuff.

Pi is by far the easiest system with a well suppirted os and api for learning\experimentation.

When to comes to using as a desktop etc. There are loads of better options if gpio is not wanted.

But even with GPIO, there's other cheaper boards out there with better specs to boot

The comment was about the 500, which currently has non-working M2, as a money grab apparently.
