It depends on your use case of course. A simple website is sufficient like you said using a orange pi. Running your own LLM model at home is not sufficient. Or compiling the Linux kernel. Or 4k gaming…
With the exception of LLM it’s just a bit incrementally better? Like I game on full hd, I have an old pc that can compile anything (why do it on a rpi 😁?!)… A simple web page can be done on an esp, and way less if you want the hassle of course.
I mean go ahead, but for me it’s not really better enough to be worthwhile.
My point is that you don’t actually need that extra speed or ram or whatever. And my orange 1GB PI from a decade ago can do anything I want still.

And LLM hardware is way too expensive still, IMO.
