https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q_FWsuQwSMk

If you’ve tried to buy a Raspberry Pi in the past year or so then you’ve probably experienced some level of difficulty in getting one. So in this video, I’m going to try out three Raspberry Pi alternatives that I’ve found online. I’ll be trying some basic media playback, then I’ll try to use the GPIO pins to turn an LED on and off and finally I’ll have a look at the power consumption on each.
