Rewording of sentence, SD caveats, removed info
Single board computers is a more specific term for raspberry pis (at least from my perspective) this can help the user find these devices on a search engine more easily. These devices are usually ARM based and significantly cheaper (slower too).

I think Mini PC usually refers to x86 (AKA something that can run windows without too much fuss) based computers. 

These lines are really blurry and not very important but I think using these terms will help newcomers search for these devices online more quickly.

I also removed specific prices and sizes of things, since these always change. If they really want to run bitcoin they will quickly find out how large it is and every time it gets mentioned it needs to be qualified with a date.  

Removed the caveat that you need an external storage device, since that's subject to the configuration of the node. 

Added a note to be careful with SD cards, since if not configured properly can be easily bricked.
