I said it was a use case, not the purpose. But realistically these single board computers are more suitable for gaming than for machine learning. If you don't have a computer
at all then I guess you could use a Jetson for this purpose, but a real computer would be much better and is easily within the budgets of most companies and most software engineers.
Is this a developing markets play? I've never heard of someone whose only computer is a Pi/Jetson. By the time you add all the necessary peripherals to use it as your only computer, it costs more than a cheap laptop.
So the point of a Jetson is .. you only have a cheap laptop with terrible integrated graphics, and for $60 you get a much better GPU with this Jetson, and you remote into it?
I think it'll do better in gaming.
