I had a little device called CHIP. Only one core and 512mb ram, not as fast as a pi, but it had 4gb flash instead of a micro SD card, Wifi & Bluetooth, and all for only $9! I mostly used it to keep my Linux skills from withering away, but did do a few experiments to gauge the utility of these little machines. 

A Pi 4 is definitely gotten a useful level of power! Time to re-engage!

There are lots of similar devices, but the Pi seems the most popular. I need to make use of those I have before I consider buying more.

Absolutely! Pi has the best community support and the most reliable design (if you are picky with your usb-c power cable choice in the case of the Pi-4 ;). And I forgot to mention that the CHIP company went out of business a year after I got it. 
I think anyone with a hobby computer like a Pi has several devices in various stages of usability in a room somewhere. I know I do!
