I am building one.........Easier to upgrade
It depends upon your needs....yes, a Raspberry Pi can handle a lot of tasks, and the same with an Intel NUC (lower cost models).
For instance, I bought this Intel NUC about four years ago for $310.68
Mini PC Intel 11th Generation Processors N5105(up to 2.9GHz) Windows 11 Pro 8GB DDR4/256GB SSD Desktop Computer Support Dual WiFi HDMI USB3.0 RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09PD96GFP
Win 11 Pro OEM cost today $146.00, and Win 11 OEM cost $119.00 for the do it yourself builders..
This NUC still works, but it can't handle AV1 (AOMedia Video 1). encoded video. Buffers when playing.
Raspberry Pi is the way to go if a person does not need Windows, which some of my programs "demand" and a current version of Windows.
