The Pi is by fair the best out of the box system. As you say the Jetson doesn't have wifi, either does the N2 and it's connectivity is limited too. A Pi4 must be on the cards this year. I'd expect it to have the A73 too given that CPU is 2 years old now, and would give the Pi 64 bit capabilities.

Memory is probably as much of a problem with the Pi 3B+ and there the Pi4 shines.

Yep for sure. I've got a Pi4 4GB and it's fine. Might pick up an 8gb model.

I'm looking forward to Windows sorting their Windows 10 for ARM. At present the preview version can only use 1gb of ram. Hopefully when it's released properly it will be-able to take advantage of the 8gb in the Pi and fingers crossed, the GPU drivers.

As my P4 is interfaced via a touch screen, Windows (as much as I dislike it) makes a lot more sense than Raspbian.
