use have been hit the hardest in terms of price increases. And mini PCs aren’t a good replacement for the Pi in embedded

I mean, yeah I'm aware that LPDDR SDRAM chips are in short supply as a lot of the capacity was shifted for other types of SDRAM, but is it enough to allow for an entire SSD to be included at the same price? Its not like flash prices haven't also increased a ton.

I was also thinking that there are cooling systems (fans are expensive!), cases, etc. that add costs to mini PCs that mean they really shouldn't compete with SBC in price.
