Hi, I am running a few devices and some AppDaemon scripts on my Raspberry, and I see that the CPU load sometimes gets a bit high (however - I just checked, and it’s much better now, so maybe this is a non-issue:)

I have an old 1005HA (Intel Atom™ N280/ N270), and the R417SA is very cheap on sale right now (Intel Celeron N3060). Would one of these perform significantly better than the Raspberry? I see some huge advantages from running a portable computer as “server” - battery backup, robust storage (I have gone through some SD cards…), portability (for adding new z-wave devices close to location), and built-in monitor and keyboard (for initial setup, network configuration, safe shutdown if network is not connected etc).
