Unfortunately, the Raspberry Pi 3 sells for over 50€ per board.
The Raspberry Pi zero, in spite of being marketed as a 10€ computer, in practice can't be purchased at all.
- brudgers 10y agoIn the US, the Pi 3 runs about $35 on Amazon. VAT may effect pricing in other places.
- Tepix 10y agoThe Raspberry Pi Zero has been in stock for the last couple of weeks. Look at http://www.whereismypizero.com/ http://www.whereismypizero.com/
- blacksmith_tb 10y agoThe Zero is a very different devboard, though - you will need to invest in assorted adapters and hubs if you want to connect it to just about anything other than power... it is useful in small spaces, but for anything else spending a little more to get something like the CHIP is well worth it, and for use a small PC, going to the RPi 3 is probably wiser.
- Florin_Andrei 10y agoYup, that's how it's supposed to be. Want to make a micro-computer? Get the RPi 3. Want to make a robot or drone? Get the RPi Zero.
- noonespecial 10y ago"THIS PRODUCT IS LIMITED TO 1 UNIT PER CUSTOMER" Always. Everywhere. Wanted 25 units to teach a robot class to some local kids at the Hackerspace. Had to buy 3's instead. Even if I'd placed 25 separate orders, the cost of individual shipping on each vs the cost savings of the combined shipping on the 3's put the price within spitting distance. Pi zero is an ad. A loss leader. A way to have an answer, any answer, to the flood of $7 Allwinner wonder-boards on AliExpress.
- whiskers 10y agoThe Raspberry Pi 3 is available from many vendors for $35 + sales taxes. You can pick it up on our site for £32 including VAT (that's EUR30 before taxes or EUR36 including taxes): https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/raspberry-pi-3 https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/raspberry-pi-3
