Raspberry Pi 5: available now! We’ve been excited to see the response of early users to Raspberry Pi 5, and can’t wait to see what you do once you get your hands on it.
Those have gotten rather expensive.
But maybe the 4 will become available and cheap now?
Wow, $80. I haven't looked into these devices since the first one, but I thought the point of them was to be very cheap. I do wonder what these new more powerful ones are capable of. Perhaps the performance justifies the price.
That’s a point, and that is still very cheap. There are many other models still available that are probably a better option for small hobby projects or people learning programming or physical computing.
These are also the higher memory variants. Lower memory variants will likely come later at a lower price point.
Hopefully they do release 1 and 2GB memory varoants which should be $35 and $45 respectively if they follow the pricing of previous models. The performance does look like a big upgrade over the Pi 4 at least.
I have no idea what the point of these is anymore. I see them used in so many applications that don't require any of their most expensive features.
The lack of full size HDMI is still pretty disappointing.
I’d rather have an M.2 connector without requiring a HAT.
I’ll stick with my Orange Pi 5 for now which comes with one, tyvm.
I hope the availability will be better than with the Pi 4.
NGL I still have alot of love for the ESP series for doing little automation stuffs. I miss back when the Pi's were cheap. The Orange Pis seem nice.
