Critics' Consensus

“The Radxa X4 offers a powerful x86 alternative to the Raspberry Pi with a similar form factor and onboard NVMe storage, but requires external cooling and lacks full case compatibility. It is a solid choice for developers needing more processing power, though it falls short of unleashing the N100's full potential.”

“A solid attempt at a Raspberry Pi alternative, it just falls short by not unleashing the full power of the N100.”
