Picked up a laptop with a busted screen $30 cheaper than the RPI 5. 1135G7, 8gb upgradable ram, m.2 storage, wifi, bluetooth and a battery.

Raspberry pis' were great early on, but their appeal has quickly diminished in my eyes considering used hardware options that are available now.

Size would be the one redeeming quality of a raspberry pi for me, my headless laptop is thin but takes up substantially more space.
