    The cheapest rpi that isn’t a zero or pico started at $35. You can buy a Pi 4 Model B 1GB for $35 on pishop.us right now.

    The pi 5 won’t ever be $35 because that’s not the price point it was designed to hit. That’s why they have a range of products, so you can buy the one that fits your budget.

        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.

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

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

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