But I think there is version W with wlan+bluetooth

If you speak about Raspberry Pi as a not so good hardware, you have read
somewhere it has a HDMI connector too, since v1...

Raspberry Pi got 1Go RAM... (Orange Pi is only 512Mo ? Yes ?) + 4 USB
for connecting mouse/keyboard/usb key... everything needed for a
"desktop" computer.

I think ideas can be shared from an open mind ;)
I think it's always a bad solution to impose our solution as a "default
