And that is…?

Edit: apparently, the cost had jumped from $55-$78. Still, at least $100 less than what it cost in 2016 when I was in school for an RPi 2. I’m having a huge amount of trouble finding scaler comparisons between RPi and standard server set up.

Genuinely asking: for the Rpi fans out there, what’s it actually capable of nowadays? Can I run a Plex server off of a single RPi?

I am looking to replace a 2011 iMac (i7-2600) as my Plex server,, I’d like to know if a modern RPi could handle the load.

Advice, please?

If you don't need an rpi specifically (i.e. for the built in CEC) you're better off with something else.
