What would be the advantage using one of these over, say, a raspberry pi?

[–] utjebe@reddthat.com 2 points 2 days ago

Stability and resiliency you get from a system like this. Obviously stacking a Ryzen 7 against any RPI is not possible / fair really.

If you have a RPI around, it is a great starting point for a lot of thjngs. At some moment ypu will just want something can be extended, doesn't rely on SD card, isn't too picky about which SSD you give it etc.

ARM vs x86(x64)

Besides that: Performance (and not even that considering what iMacs can provide)

Besides that? Probably not much else.
Technically a Pi (-clone) suffices for most tasks.
