Not especially, no. The core product is the $35 computer, and has been since Raspberry Pi began. That product, the $35 Raspberry Pi, now has 2GB of RAM. Yes, other configurations are available, including the previous core product if there's a reason why you'd want the 1GB version.
- p1necone 7y agoThe article seems to suggest that the 4gb model has been outselling the $35 one.
- stan_rogers 7y agoThat doesn't change anything. The RPi is all about the price point. Yes, you can get other configurations, but the whole point of the Foundation is that $35 (or cheaper) machine - an affordable computer, built to a specific price point, with the aim of putting a "tinkering" computer into the hands of as many kids (and interested adults) as possible. It's nice that people are buying the things for various more mundane purposes, as that sort of subsidizes the main purpose... but the main purpose is still to provide an educational machine at an affordable price, and the $35 price point is a big part of that.
