Smart, connected products drive significant benefits across almost every application

Currently in industries from medical diagnostics and transportation to precision agriculture and entertainment, engineers are increasingly challenged to find new ways to design in greater intelligence, connectivity, and performance—while cutting costs, power consumption and size.

Single Board Computers (SBC) are an ideal platform for quick and focused product design. They continue to evolve in sophistication, and the range of possibilities continues to expand as well. And as those capabilities grow, so do the choices for design engineers.

But what are the factors that matter most in SBC evaluation and selection?
