Top single-board computer

The "SunFounder Cubieboard 3 Full Version" alongside the actual Board comprises (Cubietruck with Allwinner A20 ARM Cortex-A7 CPU, 2 cores each with 1 GHz, 2 GB RAM, 8 GB NAND flash), a power supply, a very well fitting housing with all the necessary ports (power adapter, 2x USB, 1x USB OTG, MicroSD memory card, HDMI / VGA, TOS-Link, headphones, LAN), screws, a chipset fan for sticking as well as many cable (SATA, mini-USB / USB-OTG, power supply cable). For an external SATA HDD, a connection board and all the necessary cables are included (of course, does not fit into the case and it must also be drilled holes).

On the internal NAND flash memory Android 4.2.x is preinstalled (including Google Play goals); thus affects the surface as an Android phone, and there may be many programs are installed from the PlayStore. The performance is thanks to 2-core CPU tidy and clearly superior to the Rasperry PI; a great advantage is the ability to connect a SATA hard drive (wg. current requirement should be limited here to a 2.5-inch drive, but 3.5-inch is also possible). Image output, there are over VGA or HDMI. On the Cubietruck board is next to a wireless module, a LAN port available.

Plays videos / MP3s a simple player is available; for images need to install an app. In the microSD card slot, a memory card to boot another Linux distribution (Ubuntu etc) are inserted (see forum at wewewe-Punkt-forum-cubieboard.de/Forum-cubietruck-a20).

CONCLUSION: Very good single-board computer with sufficient power and good functionality, easily expandable thanks to MicroSD / SATA / USB ports.
