«The reason big new things sneak by incumbents is that the next big thing always starts out being dismissed as a “toy.” This is one of the main insights of Clay Christensen’s “disruptive technology” theory.»
Tho Raspberry Pi computers are designed to a low price point, so they are aiming for the low end not the high end. But the 5 is about as powerful as the last-generation Intel MacBooks, despite using fairly old Arm cores. I don’t think they can be casually dismissed.
