Perhaps a benchmark of both boards comparing them would be nice to display on the web. Would anyone be interested on this?.

Obviously they couldn't stay with their hands in the pockets after the ODROID, Orange Pi and Banana Pi quad-core boards came out and it's truly interesting that the price is still the same as their dual-core board, just 35$. Another interesting thing is that it will support natively Windows 10 too, will this be the future of PCs? Haha

New raspi seems promosing. Orange pi for the moment has the advantage of the giga lan and wifi, and the disadvantage of the mali gpu
If equipped with a quad core cpu like op+ (and a different video card ) it will be the top of the pcboards (imho).
OrangePi A20, with Qbee-X_testing

Still waiting for refund/replacement of no working op+2e bought on 11/11 >_<...really serious company

I will definitely be benchmarking them when I get sent the Orange Pi (Pi 2 is in the mail already).

I don't see how the video card of the Raspberry Pi 2 is superior in terms of hardware, it has had a lot of development so people can take advantage of the 200MHz gpu, but the Orange Pi has a Mali 400 or 450 MHz GPU so it is the clear winner (unless I'm missing something) - developers just need to take advantage of the Mali GPU.

Orange Pi has as extra's compared to Raspberry PI 2 a SATA port, gigabit ethernet and WiFi
A20 is just dual core but clock speed is higher. Would love to see benchmarks.
I can't compare gfx.
Then again raspberry pi 2 is $15 cheaper.

Orrange PI plus is better than raspberry pi 2. Major disadvantage for me is the lack of sata. (I am working on turning my orange pi into an Amahi home server,  sata for storage is faster than sata)
I would also suggest to add NAND to the Pi plus so one can boot from NAND

hi steven!

I ordered the orange-pi-plus.

Questions:
Where can I buy a case?
Is the antenna enclosed as with the standard Orangepi? On the photos there is no antenna visible - only a plug
