    Of course the pi 4 is still part of the product range. It’s still being actively manufactured and sold. Same for the pi3.

    As far as memory size, that wasn’t part of your original complaint. You want a $35 computer, that’s how much you get. The original pi was $35 and had 256mb of ram.

    -edit also, $35 in 2012 is $47 today with inflation. The pi 4 is a crazy good deal and readily available. This complaint just has no merit.

      Its a 5-year old product. With 5 year old specs.

      Yes I also didn’t specify a clock speed, storage size, network speed, etc. What I meant was a modern version of an old product with similarly modern specs.

      $35 in 2012 is $47 today

      And yet the Pi5 starts at $60.

      You’re also missing the other half of this conversation where other SBCs have come way down in price.

      Le Potato, Orange Pi, Zima products, Rockchip, not to mention all the X86 mini PCs, old office PCs, etc.

        It’s a Pi. Cutting edge (or even modern or high end) specs have never been it’s selling point or goal.

        This is just goal moving at this point. And stating just plain incorrect facts. I’m out.
