I've been quite happy with the 8G version, but I normally run Linux. The 16G / 512 version is only $229 though. As you mentioned, it does not have the 12v power control. I just use a non computerized dew heater control if I need to, but I usually don't.?

I used to run a raspberry pi 4 with ekos but found that it was a bit underpowered. I believe that the USB data rate was the biggest factor. It looks like the latest asiair pro is using a rpi 5 which should help, but it's still not as fast as an n100.?
