1. Raspberry Pi:
Raspberry Pi can be termed as a small computer, it is a credit-sized device that plugs into the PC, which has a standard keyboard and mouse. It is also capable of computing and can be taught how to program with languages. Generally, these devices are used to make Ariel drones and are used with weather detection programs. It is known for its capabilities that it offers at an affordable price, though it depends on the variant you are buying. Speaking of capabilities it is a mini-computer that can serve you like a desktop computer. From surfing the internet to watching high-definition videos and playing light modes games. It supports Python language out of the box.
2. Orange Pi:
Orange Pi is also another mini-computer out in the market with all capabilities when considered with Raspberry Pi. It was developed when there was a huge demand for its Raspberry Pi, as a result, a clone like a computer was developed and named Orange Pi. With some fewer functions, Pi is supported by different OS like Linux, Ubuntu, and Android. When compared to Original Pi, Orange Pi has some cost-cutting with fewer USB ports. It has faster networking and some more heavy features that make it difficult to be as fast as Pi. With new integrations, it has developed onboard WiFi but lacks the community support as Raspberry Pi has.
