Greetings and Salutations,
Has anyone tried to run OpenWrt on the X131e? You can buy them used ~$60USD (+shipping) on Ebay (chromebook variant) or $100-150USD for i3 versions. Asking for a friend.
Thanks!
Arguments:
-
Cheap!
-
Smaller than a regular laptop / 11.6”
-
It has dual USB 3.0
-
Thunderbolt interface
-
10/100/1000 NIC
-
WNIC
-
Lower powered celeron (or i3 / i5 for the more adventurous).
-
Similar power consumption to an underclocked fanless x86 solution (10-30 watts).
-
Cheaper on a low end X131e ($50-60USD) than a kitted out rPi4?
-
Cheaper on a low end X131e ($50-60USD)than a fanless x86 solution.
Million Dollar Question:
Will the cheap celeron variants do 1Gbps throughput running OpenWrt?
