The Odroid H Series is a family of single-board computers built around Intel N-series processors, such as the 4-core N97 in the H4 and H4+ and the 8-core i3 N305 in the H4 Ultra. For buyers who want a compact, industrial-style PC instead of a bare board, the closest Thinvent match is the Thinvent Treo Mini PC, which is offered with Intel Celeron N5095A and Intel Core i3 and i5 processors, up to 64 GB of RAM and up to 2 TB of SSD storage.
