The $279 computer was the one you linked to that had GPIO pins, from Tom's Hardware website:
And, BTW, you can get Arduino and/or Pi-compatible GPIOs on an Intel platform if that's what you want:?
?
It's a bit pricier now, but overall it seems quite possible that an Intel variant could take away a lot of Pi's lunch money sooner or later.
That board is the $279 one I was talking about, a bare board (no Case! Fan! Power!) with a Celeron J4105 and some AMD processor (not N110) and 8 gigs of RAM, which compares very nicely with an 8 Gig RPi 5 board at $80.
In other words comparing "apples to apples", essentially, if not precisely.

250% is not quite accurate.? My N100 came with 16GB ram, 256GB of SSD storage, built in power supply and a case.? You need to add a case, a fan, a power supply, an sdcard or other storage etc to the RPi to make a fair comparison.? Not trying to ruffle any feathers but we should compare apples to apples.
