The Raspberry Pi 4 is a single-board ARM computer that can drive two displays, has Wi-Fi and one Ethernet port, and supports up to 8 GB of RAM. The closest Thinvent match is the Thinvent Micro 6 Pro Mini PC. It uses the same Amlogic S905X3 chip as the Raspberry Pi 4 product line, and it is a fanless ARM mini PC with dual-antenna Wi-Fi and Thinux™ Embedded Linux.
