No. With that price, it kinda defeats its original purpose of being a cheap micropc to tinker with.
They have plenty of cheaper models.
At that point, just buy a steamdeck, take out the pcb and you already have a much better sbc. Only half joking here, because 120€ really is a joke. I cant even imagine the profit margines they have on these things now.
This is ridiculous. The prices of all the Raspberry Pis need to be cut by about half.
The original cost $30 when it came out
It also only had 512MB of RAM...
I don't understand why people get their knickers in a twist over those prices. The Pi5 is still pretty cheap for a fully functional computer. Plus, they have a wide variety of products at different price points, so if that one's too expensive for you, get something else.
Schools and youth programs that need to buy 20 at a time and had their budgets cut because the football team wanted new uniforms.
Buy the 4 GB model. Or the Pi4. There's something for everyone.
Businesses who have a Raspberry Pi built into the BOM of an existing system design will continue to pay.
I'll wait for the 16G model of the RPi500 with an M.2 slot...
People who haven't heard of ESP32s
ESP32s
Can it run Crysis?
slowly hahaha
Unfortunately you can't run home assistant on an esp32. I'm using an old laptop for it, waiting for a minipc with better specs than it to be under $50 before buying.
Fair point, but I see a whole category of things with a RP slapped on it that a simple microcontroller could do (don't get me wrong, its great people are innovating, it's just a little overkill).
People whose workload doesn't fit in 8GB. Unbelievably stupid article.
"It's only $20 away from a x86_64 SBC with 8GB of RAM" - so? if, say, an eval of nixpkgs takes 14GB, it takes 14GB
120 bucks will get you a used optiplex with power cord. Byo ram/ssd but still.
