Nice to see a successor to the H2/H2+ finally.

> Power consumption: IDLE : ≃1.9W

Better idle power than a Raspberry Pi 4 plus it has functioning suspend modes.

Yah, its cool, but as mentioned in the pi thread, there are a pile of these jasper lake nuc's available via large retailers for $100-200, some better some worse, but in most cases they come with ram, storage, case and powersupply for those prices.

for example, search for beelink.

I own an H2, and I strongly suggest them as middle ground between a PC and an (SBC) ARM. One of the main advantages is support, both in terms of applications (some programs may not yet compile on ARM), and kernel (although (some) ARM SBC can run with a stock kernel, it's advices to run a specific kernel to run optimally). The H2 also run impressively cool, and I suppose the H3 does, as well.

Note though, that RPis have never been the most price effective ARM solution, as Hardkernel has always had more powerful and/or cheaper alternatives. Their current N2+ is probably both more powerful and cheaper than the equivalent RPi.

Do those come with two ethernet ports, two DDR4 slots (up to 64GB), eMMC, M.2 and two SATA ports?

For me, this almost looks like an instant buy.

I was an early adopter of Hardkernel's Odroids, for better (size, performance:cost) and for worse (longevity).

This looks like a winner in every way.

    x86_64 for longevity and support, tested with Ubuntu $latest LTS
    decent CPU, better than Raspberry Pi
    RAM up to 64GB, two SO-DIMM slots, up to 32GB per slot
    M.2 NVMe storage
    2 x 2.5Gbit Ethernet ports 
    2 x SATA 3.0 ports
    Intel UHD Graphics, HDMI 2.0 and DP 1.2 video outputs

I own one also, while I do recommend them... I would also recommend some caution if planning to use Linux

I'm not sure if this is a common/repeat thing, but for mine I need to maintain a build of the Realtek kernel modules out of tree

If I try to use the discovered/automatic/inline driver... it'll drop out if I try to saturate the link.

It's only when I blacklist this module and compile/use the one from Realtek that it works reliably

edit: This has been consistent through about a year of Fedora kernel releases, for what it's worth -- rather leading edge.

What distro and kernel version are you running on there? The Realtek 2.5G NICs should work natively with a recent kernel.
