I have given this one a test run, it has all the features you like for Jetson, with just 2 GB less RAM and 2 less USB ports.   This is a very affordable device to do cool apps.


  • 128-core NVIDIA MaxwellTM 

  • 64-bit Quad-core ARM A57 (1.43 GHz)

  • USB-C Port for Power

Depending where you or or how you buy the package you may need to buy a power supply and USB WiFi.

All of my existing workloads have been working fine in the 2GB version, but with a very nice cost saving.  The setup is easy, the system is fast, I have to highly recommend anyone looking for a quick way to do Edge AI and other edge workloads a try.   This could be a decent machine for learning.   I hooked mine up to a monitor, keyboard and mouse and I could use it right away for edge development and also as a basic desktop.   Nice work!  I might need to get 11 more of these.   These will run MiNiFi agents, Python and Deep Learning classifications at ease.

NVIDIA didn't stop with the ultimate low-cost edge device, they have some serious enterprise updates as well:

There seems to be a ton more news coming at this virtual event, so I recommend attending and watching for more detailed posts on new things coming out.
