So, this might be a bit off-topic, but as I wanted to explore the world
of SBCs a bit...
I have been thinking about buying myself Le Potato (AML-S905X-CC) from
Libre Computer for a while, mostly to have a small backup system in case
my RPi 3B+ gets fried.
Now I was checking out their website and they are offering a new
version, the Sweet Potato (AML-S905X-CC-V2) for the same price.
According to reviews I read this is because they are very evenly
specced, but from what I can see the new version does have some benefits
over the old version: it comes standard with 2GB RAM while Le Potato has
2GB only in the higher price tier, it has a heatsink attached from
factory while for Le Potato I'd have to buy one extra, and it has POE.
Is it just me who finds it weird that the price is the same?

Anyone got any experience with those machines?
