4. It's available ~'everywhere'. RPi foundation has done a great job at making it's product available to buy at the time of announcement in over 50 countries and I think that's underrated. It shows 5 different websites for me to buy in India, which is not usually the case here for new hardware except few exceptions like Nvidia Jetson; if at all they ever make it to the country. Also RPi foundation/partners seems to be actively working with the Govt. to keep the prices competitive. To give you a comparison, PinePhone costs >$200 (+tax) to get it here that is if at all it doesn't get blocked at the customs due to licensing requirements for telecommunication hardware, taxes for CBU(Completely Built Unit) smart phones, blockade on shipments from the country to the North. That's a tragedy considering huge number of Linux enthusiasts in the country and that alternate smartphone OS can indeed help Govt.'s self reliance goals. P.S. That was not to diss on Pine64's efforts, but to show the state of enthusiast hardware availability in India.
