🙀 Jetson Wuh? What Is it?

The NVIDIA Jetson Nano is, essentially, an amazing little computer. I’d describe it as a lot like a Raspberry Pi, except it has a GPU. Combine that with its low $99 USD price tag, and AI/ML enthusiasts see a cheap device that can go from desktop to edge with perfect parity. An ideal machine for AI in the wild!

🎅 Correction: Make that $89 USD today!

BONUS SELLING POINTS THAT GOT ME EXCITED

As a Mac user, I often find myself with a wimpy GPU. This little device might outperform my MacBook Pro for AI/ML training. Some semi-important libraries, like Dlib, aren’t built for Windows, so you need a Linux machine to get that GPU bump. Any good excuse for running Linux again.

My Goal?

I have an old 2012 iMac that sits to the right of my station that I don’t generally use, even though I could switch my mouse/keyboard with the press of a button.

Instead, I could replace this space with the Nano. BUT… It’s not a crafting table; I’m going to need to close it up like little computer and keep it safe.

Something like this GeekWorm case will do!

Sounds like a plan! I can just order me a $30 case on top the $99, and I’m set!

… or am I?
