Key differences
-
Both products use the same Amlogic S905X3 chip, the same four Cortex-A55 cores and 4 GB of RAM.
-
The Thinvent Micro 6 Pro Mini PC is a fanless mini PC with a dual-antenna dual-band Wi-Fi module and 32 GB of eMMC storage.
-
The Thinvent Micro 6 Pro includes a keyboard and mouse set, a 5V 2A adapter, and Thinux Embedded Linux with a browser, RDP 10, VNC shadowing and SSH.
-
We could not confirm the ODROID-HC4's clock speed, storage capacity, wireless support, operating system or cooling design, so those points are left out of the comparison.
Which one should you choose?
Choose the ODROID-HC4 if you want Hardkernel's storage-focused home-cloud board. Choose the Thinvent Micro 6 Pro Mini PC if you want a fanless mini PC with the same chip and RAM, built-in wireless, onboard eMMC storage, and Thinux Embedded Linux with a keyboard and mouse included.
