people may fairly ask, but dude, you live on a couch, why is this a priority at all, let alone why is it competing with getting another low-cost 1LPC server to host shit that'll make you money.
I'll tell you why: survivability (meaning, ability to maintain compute capability in the face of adversity), and portability, which my existing M4 (pictured) does not have, and which even with a 3D-printed case, would be substantially worse than the M6.
as for the M6, I hear it can get pretty hot, and for wifi I believe you need to run little wires thru the punch-outs in the case to external antennas. but it seems like it would be a lot more backpack portable than the M4.
the RK3588S CPU is a substantial improvement over the RK3399 as well: https://www.cnx-software.com/2022/01/12/rockchip-rk3588s-cost-optimized-cortex-a76-a55-processor/ #Rockchip #Rockchip3588
