I don't see functional reason to buy green other than supporting nabu casa. I like yellow for integrated ZigBee and ability to replace cm4. I was about to buy 3rd yellow but maybe I should move to some minisforum NUC.
The MinisForum B550 is what I use for my own setup and it works pretty well.
A good option are also mini pcs like the Lenovo M720q or the Futro S740
Thanks for other suggestions. I should get into figuring out all the available mini PCs, minisforum is just being in my feed a lot lately.
This comparison has some good info: https://github.com/a-little-wifi/TinySecrets
I bought the green because I have too much to do right now and limited bandwidth.
So having something that I can just plug in rather than having to research what kind minipc to buy, such one would work best for home assistant, install it, debug it ...
