Anyone know where to buy? I'm in Phnom Penh. Also, any recommendations on which to get? I want the best performance because I plan to use it as my main PC. Some light programming and design work. Want it to run multi applications at once and some gaming if possible. Linux is fine.
So far I see chromebit, compute stick, rasberry pi. I probably can't be picky in PP and will probably have to settle.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Never buy a laptop in this lawless country. They are too cheap to replace hardware and you have no recourse but to threaten them with a 9mm and good luck with that being a foreigner. The morons at (PTC computer) claim that the problem is with Linux and have put Windows on my laptop which does the same damn thing (loses power and restarts). Retarded cheap people.
I am going to the "Sweet Memory Store" today in PP to buy the Raspberry Pi. At least with that all of the parts can't break together and if any one component does break it's easy enough to replace.

Good luck with that! Last time I went to Sweet Memory Store, it was a small wedding photography shop, difficult to find, with a very small display case of electronic stuff. The "father" couldn't speak English and wanted more money than what the website advertises. He called the "son" who did speak english and asked me to wait 10 minutes for him to come to the shop. I didn't. If it is different now, please tell us. Thanks!brownexile wrote:Never buy a laptop in this lawless country.

I've got a banana pi m2+ on order from aliexpress for $33. What I like is the 8GB emmc memory, the sata 2 port and built in WiFi.

What a pain in the arse this was. Should have done some research first. There are 2 companies selling under the Banana Pi brand.
1, SinoVoip, is crap and sells the Banana Pi M2+ . Avoid this model. The HDMI is only guaranteed to work if you are connected to a HDMI TV not to a computer monitor via a HDMI to DVI cable information not easily found. UNit is also prone to overheating and has no thermal rergulation of the CPU ie it doens't go into reduced power mode when it starts to overheat. It just burns itself out. So a fan and heatsink is essential.
Video slow and can't get it to run videos. Installed a new Media OS, OpenElec and it's working much better now.
Doesn't have a SATA port, must of got confused between all the models. Some SATA implementations on these style boards use a USB to SATA bridge so it's not true SATA and is super slow.
Only has a power led so it's really hard to tell if there's anything going on. Found connecting it t a network cable showed that it was initialising the network card, then able to SSH to it to confirm it ran.
