I'm with you here. I think the new AMD SoC that's coming out in the Udoo Bolt looks like a nice middle ground. I've been using Skull Canyon as a Linux desktop for about a year and a half now and the new model doesn't look a compelling upgrade for the price. I'm hoping the Bolt architecture is repeated in more products going forward.
