But...he said that it's not as cheap as it used to be and too power hungry and you propose an 150$ PC?

    I’m agreeing with them. By the time you buy the Pi 5, and all the add-ons you need, it’s going to rival these SFF systems with full x86 Intel chips with efficiency cores.

    Well, yes if you need "all the add-ons".

    Case, cooler, power supply, storage at minimum, dongle/adapters probably too.

    I meant IF you need all the add-ons, otherwise the price gap is huge

    You're right, if there's no need of GPIO. For example I'm using a Fujitsu Futro S720 that I've bought for about 30/40€ and it consumes about 4W idle and 10/15W maximum (I don't really remember). My point of view is like yours: those boards are not good for self hosting, are good for IoT, digital signage and...mmm...I don't know what else.
