Bear,

If Dells & RPi 3 are still available, I like to grab for son’s robotics team.

Peace

I think they're all atom processors and a Rasp Pi 3 is probably more powerful but the first few items are definitely more portable.

I can't remember if they use an early SSD or traditional media.  Your RaspPi is probably more powerful but they have a screen and keyboard and can run Ubuntu. (They came with Windoze.) For anything other than hobbyist use (or running Kali) you would probably want to just get a chromebook.

I haven't used it in a very long time so I don't even remember any details other than that it was a Micro Center special and that I had a zip drive installed in place of a floppy drive. I now try to stick with much smaller form factors since I don't need multiple 5.25" internal drives but it might be good if you still need to work with old cards or drives.
