So what is the price supposed to be? I'm seeing ~90€ for the 8gb variant
£79 is official RPi5 8GB price in the UK. So €90 sounds correct.
That sounds okay with taxes and stuff
I bought an old thinkcentre for $50 on ebay that trounces the Pi's performance.
Reduce, REUSE, recycle.
I suppose looking at it from a gaming/emulation perspective. While the Pi4 was fantastic, there are definitely out there foe that usecase
Can you attach any RPi HATS to it? No? Not an alternative then.
That’s decent. They sell for over $130 on Amazon. And that’s the issue. You can check decent stock and prices here: https://raspistock.com/
Yeah okay, that is way out of line, are there really scalpers, that buy raspis? 50 bucks for shipping one of those sounds like a decent business model ... But scalpers suck nonetheless
Yes plenty of scalpers were mass buying boards to increase the shortage. Now adafruit requires an authentified account to buy them with a quantity limit.
