Education price for schools is 499$ for the Neo. Have to agree no longer sure the pi makes much sense at this price point.

- LtWorf 4mo agoExcept that a rpi is a device made for learning things and a Neo is a device made to be a door to a shop.
- roody15 4mo agoAgree, I just meant on the pricing. I like the rpi, have hads lots of fun with the rpi4 making a custom home media player. Just at this price point not sure it makes much sense for as many people to play around with.
- LtWorf 4mo agoI use two rpi4 with a touchscreen and some relays connected to gpio to control my lights, speakers, heater, and with some USB-powered speakers I have internet radio (usable also as alarm) and I can see when the bus comes and set timers for cooking. Since the USB-powered speakers emit noise when not in use, I power down the USB port entirely when they are not in use. I use openbox to start my software and have a couple of python daemons to control the relays and decide what to turn on and off. Also they don't have a battery so I'm not in need to keep an eye on something that might explode.
- Pavilion2095 4mo agoThese are two very different devices that serve two very different purposes. The comparison is flawed.
