Normally I’m a little resistant to more expensive SBCs as often you might as well buy a laptop by the times you’ve bought all the peripherals. However, in this case because of what it offers with the Arduino, 2 M.2 slots and connectivity for a touch screen I think it looks really interesting. I’m a bit disappointed it’s only 8Gb RAM but I’m still tempted.

Even more amazing, you dont have to spend a dime on software to make it useful.

Great video! I really enjoyed the "not fast forward" section where the SBC was doing the fast -forward for us. I might have liked to see some kind of performance test on the built-in Arduino. If you kept a sketch to blink into a frequency counter or an oscilloscope, we could get a feel for the chip performance. If you were feeling really generous, the sketch could include some floating point math with a blinky output. When I was testing some little seeed controllers I purchased, I was surprised to see the blinky program producing waveforms in the 20-30khz range. Thanks for the entertaining video and testing especially on the HD speeds, something I'm going to go try today.

I'm with everyone else here: I would better get a cheap laptop of similar specs...so I did! I managed to grab an Asus laptop for USD$110 on sale: Dual core version of the LP3 delta soc (Jasper Lake soc, passively cooled), 4gb RAM (lame), Windows 10 Pro activated, 64gb emmc, m.2 nvme expansion port, extra m.2 that came with an intel wifi/bt combo, usb 3.0 and 3.2 gen 2, full hdmi, RJ-45 (yes, the last laptop with this port), speakers, mic, hd webcam, came with 45w charger, you also get the benefits of a 11.6" screen, keyboard, precision touchpad and of course a battery. I'm listing all these components so you can weight how much you can get if you deeply search and wait for a good deal, compared to a expensive sbc. Comparison valid only if you intended to use the LP3 delta as a regular pc (and not for arduino projects, etc). Edit: I got it so cheap because I think someone made a mistake. Intel in their eternal wisdom, brands all the dual core celerons under the 4XXX models (no matter the generation), but mine is the latest jasper lake celeron 4500 and I'm speculating that the store manager said "I want all these 4000 celerons that have been on the shelf for 7 years to be gone by the end of the sale" and so I took advantage. The soc is pretty capable and I'm dual booting with debian linux. The LP3 delta soc has two extra cores and is 100mhz faster. Has the intel GNA for AI induction and sound (integrated mic and speaker) filtering that really works and makes a difference, plus the latest and greatest improvements. Totally recommend any chip from the jasper lake soc.

I included the disclaimer because (for the first time this year) I had not purchased the hardware I showed. So I wanted to explain where it had come from -- and was returning to. Normally I make it explicit that I have purchased a product. So on those rare occasions when this is not the case, I make this explicit as well. Clearly I did not have to include the disclaimer given that I did not receive anything of value to help me make the video (if I had done this the video would have to be flagged as a paid promotion -- ie sponsored content). However, we live in a sad social media world where a great many creators break both KZitem's terms and conditions, and advertising standards laws, and do not declare videos featuring "free" products as paid promotions (something that the ASA in the UK has been complaining about recently). In turn this behaviour breeds the assumption that influencers/creators regularly promote free products without saying so. Hence the introduction I made to make it clear that this was not the case here. You can always take my opinions as honest, and it will always be absolutely clear where anything I feature on the channel has come from, and if I received it for free (which now only occurs with pre-release Raspberry Pi SBCs). :)

When it comes to detailing the hardware, this is the standard by which all other reviews and reviewers should be judged. The most detailed and yet also easy to understand breakdown of all key functionality. Very few others would point out the key differences between the USB ports. I also get to see some of the key benchmarks such as the disk speed tests. I hope that we will get another video, further showcasing the possibilities because the whistle is well and truly wetted. DFROBOT do seem to be operating in a rather cheap and tight manner, only loaning the device, which I am certain will crate major interest that will more than offset any loss of giving the product away for an impartial review. If there was a review of the month award, this would get the one for August from me. Well done indeed. My only gripe with this product is more aimed at Intel because however you look at things, this is not a budget price for what is a lower processor, which is lacking a key component for future proof use, AV1 hardware codec support from the GPU. Considering that Intel is one of the key members of the group that has created the open source codec, they are mind blowingly slow to implement it across the board. Yet again we have to wait for the next generation with Iris graphics to get support at the lower end of the range.

I am so glad you received this Delta 3! Your “full” testing of the older model was superb! If you find you may not need the older model (though you are returning this one… please advise. I did get one PI 4/ 8GB. I was hoping to get a 2nd one for wife to make a nice wood laptop. So many boards for the pi4 processor unit by many vendors , I am waiting to see what will be available for the wife. There is a long list already of other vendor boards for CM4, PI IS REALLY TAKING OFF. IM CONCERNED FOR AVAILABILITY THOUGH AT THIS CRITICAL TIME FOR RASPBERRY FOUNDATION. ILL SEND YOU LIST I HAVE OF OTHER VENDOR BOARDS FOR CM4 TO COMPARE WITH YOUR LIST! GOD BLESS!

This is good. This market can't be crowded enough. The most popular use would probably be on a living room television. It's a little expensive, though. You can buy a mini-pc for less money. Fanless if you like. And with an activated windows 11. The Mele one is excellent and does all that.

Thank you so very much. By coincidence, I had just thought about getting something like this and watched a video on it a moment before thinking "Explaining Computers might have a video on such a thing." Low and behold, you posted one two days ago. How fortunate for me. Having problems with whatever I try to use Skype, Zoom or Google's video conferencing tools on, I need to replace my 2011 macbook pro running Linux Mint 21 to do online lessons. (It may be my 'net connection.) Seems one of these with a case and a Logitech HD Pro Webcam C920 (I hear it is good with Linux through Wine) would cost me about 400 dollars (if I can get it sent to Japan without import taxes), and that would be OK. Anyone used one of these with Linux, Windows in a virtual environment or dual boot, and a mediocre webcam? I'd like to hear from you, thanks. And of course thanks again to E.C. for a thorough and easy to understand review as always.

Thanks for this. You should have no problems video confererncing from this board. For a dual boot I would (for example) keep Windows on the eMMC, and put Linux on an M.2 drive. If you turn off the eMMC in the BIOS as I did when you install Linux, you can then turn it back on and set one drive or the other as the boot default, and boot to the other OS by using the BIOS boot menu. This avoids any chance of GRUB corrupting Windows. Running a VM would certainly be possible with a quad core chip and 8GB of RAM. But the 64GB eMMC is a little small to have both Windows and a modern Linux distro on it.

Greetings sir!! This is one killer board!! I did upgrade the pre-installed Windows 10 to Windows 11 so I have it for testing. I also installed Linux Mint 21 on an NVMe drive but did NOT disable eMMC so I can dual boot. All of this is housed in the LP Titan case that came with the board. What power SBC review would be complete without our friends the ducks?
@ExplainingComputers

Thanks for this. I did not try Windows 11, so am pleased to hear that it worked for you. Dual booting does work on the setup I showed, either by using the BIOS to turn the eMMC on and off (when on, Windows will boot, when off Linux will boot). Or, after installation, you can leave the eMMC turned on, and boot from the NVMe drive by using the boot selection BIOS menu when you do not want to boot into Windows. I use this approach quite a lot on x86 boards with eMMC (and indeed more generally by physically removing drives with other OS on them when doing a Linux install, then reconnecting other drives afterwards). The advantage is that Grub does not run by default, and a Grub corruption does not prevent booting of more than one OS. :)

Thank you Mr. Barnatt for your efforts at a fine presentation of the Latte Panda 3. This SBC appears snappy for normal applications, yet I gotta request for the purposes of a DIY build for a normal mobile productivity (not gaming) requirements, I am wondering about the following questions: 1. What is the fastest boot time into Windows you observed with the NVMe SSD ? Same with Linux? 2. What are the observed thermals? At idle, at max load for example with the rendered video? 3. What is the Power Consumption: In watts. Yes I can assume it is less than the 45 watt of the AC adapter, yet, curious about Idle, normal productivity apps, and max video video rendering loads. 4. Where is Latte Panda manufactured ? Or can you refer my questions over to DFR Robot for more deep dive into test results.

I have the 1 TB version of that NVMe drive, and you're really not missing out on much for peak performance. Even if you were to somehow give it 4 PCIe lanes, it wouldn't double in speed. You need not be so disappointed.

I LOVE MY LATTEPANDA 3 DELTA AND ITS BEAUTIFUL CASE!! Mint is very intuitive and smooth as silk. The startup was as easy as imaging a RPi uSD, which was a pleasant surprise, considering every time I have previously strayed from that paved road, deep regrets soon followed. But, not this time. Most of my required apps were in the Software Manager, which made setup a breeze. It's performance and YT videos on Firefox blows away my higher priced mini PC, as well as the old Surface Pro II. No more buffering. I've been wanting to get away from Windows for years and finally, this will be my daily driver. "GOOD GOD ALMIGHTY, I'M FREE AT LAST!!" Thank you so much, Chris for this great review. You've made an old geezer very happy. (rut-roh, no more smiley faces with 'Win + .' How can I live?) 🙂 Well, look at what I just found!

Hopefully whenever (Or if ever) the LattePanda 3 Alpha comes out, it has dual-channel memory. 16GB total would be preferable, but even 8GB would do just fine. I know some "SBCs" have dual-channel support, but you have to supply your own RAM sticks which feels like cheating. I used and still love the LattePanda 1 Alpha (The m3-7y30 model), and I've been itching for a proper upgrade for awhile now. Though if I have to wait too long I might just cave-in and get myself a UDOO BOLT, however with AMD's recent APUs maybe something more powerful might pop up in the future. Thank you for the very informational video! Keep up the good work!
