#2> At this price point, it’s easy enough to throw one in your basket when you’re already spending a decent chunk of change and be done with it, safe in the knowledge that you have a well-performing boot device. I do still think it’s a bit naff that the M.2 HAT+ doesn’t fit in the official case but I won’t re-open that can of worms.
An rpi5 plus M.2 hat plus a branded ssd and you are well into the realm of Intel N100 SBC that don’t need a hat, have a good GPU with encoding/decoding and a lot of CPU power. I really don’t understand rpi anymore beyond the Zero, 2040 and CM range for commercial use.

#4It would be cool to have a nex gen RPi (perhaps even the Zero edition) that does away with the micro SD slot and replaces it with a built in NMVe one.
In addition, replace most of the other ports (microUSB, etc...) with a number of USB-C ports.

#5Does anyone know if these will work with the PoE HATs?

The official NVMe hat blocks access to the PoE header, but there are third party options that combine NVMe and PoE into one hat:

Alternatively you could get one of the NVMe boards that sits under the Pi, and put a standard PoE hat on top.

Power consumption is a good contender for reasons to stick with rpis. The rough, quick search numbers I'm seeing for idle power are ~6w for the N100 SCB and ~1 to 2w for the pi. Max performance is like ~15w to ~4w.

While there is some commercial/industrial use of RPi, that seems like an odd consideration when generally considering how they've positioned the brand. Meanwhile you can write and run very similar code across everything from the zero all the way up to the 5—which is enormous flexibility that x86 simply doesn't offer.
Plus, my understanding is that the N100 still tends to have poor driver support issues that the Pi likely doesn't with such a large community.

The Pineboards PoE + NVMe HAT will be released next week and will allow you to have both, and some other 3rd party ones do the same. The official Pi M.2 HAT does block the PoE headers though sadly!

How often is that the case? Are you really saving so much more money with a 10W board vs a 15W system to offset the purchasing price?
