The N100 vs RPi 5 debate seems to ignore those 40 pins on the RPi that the N100 solutions lack.
Are we trying to solve a software problem or a hardware problem?
I think you'd be hard-pressed to just "drop in" an N100 system in a device like the uBitx, there would be a significant effort to interface the N100 system to a uBitx board I imagine.
N100 systems are great values and solve a number of problems, but they are not suitable in some applications the RPi excels at, namely embedded applications.
If your application doesn't require the 40 pin GPIO header, why are you using an RPi?
NOTE: if $100-150 N100 systems were available at the time, Mr Upton would never have developed the RPi - his goal was a $100ish desktop that required a TV for output that could be used in education for third-world students using phone chargers, cheap keyboards/mice, etc.

It also fits into some stuff I wrote earlier about how I feel Pi will be under more pressure from small form-factor (SFF) PCs using x86 processors, and that the sBITX community will have to be ready for things to change more rapidly than in the past
