Secondarily, mini-PCs are much more readily available at better prices now, which makes the Pi look more expensive in comparison.

- xmodem 2y agoCome on man, The Pi 4 has almost all of those. Besides, GP was pointing out that it feels like the price has gone up. I was pointing out that one reason it feels that way is because it has. No-one is arguing you don't get something for that money.
- schappim 2y agoYou’re looking at it wrong. The 5 doesn’t simply replace the 4. Raspberry Pi has committed to keeping the Pi 4 in production until 2034. Even the Pi1B+ will be available until 2030 at pretty much the same price as launch day!
