@melanrz
I don't think buying this board will be a good choice. There is another board presented at the same day as the rasp 3 and that board is surely the better choice.

They really managed to put a turbo on the bicycle with the Raspi 3 :

- Quadcore ARM8 64bit with a 32bit OS plus new power supply 2.5A ( + bucket of water ? )
- integrated USB2-hub with SnailLan100 extension battling for some external connections
- Wlan/BT ( the good news )
- IoT-ready ( able to load a console-program dubbed Windows10 named after the M$ OS-parody )

If ( unfortunately "if" ) OrangePi would care for its customers and provide at least some basic support,
the new cheaper boards could be a very valid alternative to the RasPIs.

i'm still waiting for a >50$ board, that has native usb3/sata AND gigabit ethernet. So far nothing (well there is xu4, but its too expensive)

@melanrz, I don't care about wifi or BT on board, never used and usualy they have a very limited range.
Time will tell, who will be "the winner"

Somewhat of an oldie but goodie: a pogoplug 4 has all that and can be found for around $5-$15 usd
Depending on what you want to use it for, these can be great little devices. (with mainline kernel support)

Although it may be a little underpowered compared to all the new Raspberry/Orange/Banana-Pi's.

I'm with you on this one, actually ordered a XU4 yesterday.

We need USB3 capable bus on all SBC, the CPUs are way more powerful than the bus can handle now!

They send a message - "sbc boards are not for data I/O". Get over it.

I'm still waiting for some company to release a ~60$ board with a quad A72, capable of doing daily computer tasks with no problems, perfect to achieve any kind of task, but seems that they only stay on the slow side, with A53.
