    I personally vouch for ASUS Tinker Board
    https://www.asus.com/us/Single-Board-Computer/Tinker-Board/

    It's the same thing but made by a company that does things properly. All my offical Raspberries are dead, the ASUS ones are still pushing.

    You can tell by the silk screen and everything that it's made properly, like a board in an Apple laptop.

    Remember to get an official power supply. You need one that can provide 2A of current.

    Not that great of a recommendation seeing as how Apple have so many flaws on their board design :D

    USB2 and 2gigs of DDR3 ram?

    OP stick with the Pi, but be careful of power supply if getting a Pi4. Only use the one that comes with it.
