Re: Lost the plot
"And the launch price for the Raspberry Pi 4B with 4GB of ram in 2019 was $55. Which is roughly equivalent to $66 in 2023 thanks to the recently rampant inflation."
And even the original Raspberry Pi was £25, which is about £37 in todays money, so considering the upgraded speed, number of cores and RAM, it's a pretty reasonable price still.
Original Raspberry Pi - single core @700MHz, 256MB of RAM.
Current Raspberry Pi5 - 4 cores @2.4GHz, 4 or 8GB of RAM
Yeah, it's pretty hard to argue with the higher price point, and if you want, you can still order a 512MB model A+ from Rapid for 16 quid +VAT, which is less than half the price, in today's money than the original Pi was at launch!.
