Meanwhile I have a Raspberry Pi 3b+ I got years ago and those are at least double what they cost back then! --- Insert signature here <cite>DystopiaMan posted [p:980510136] in How come t...

BewmHedshot 05/22/24 4:11:54 PM #3:	Retro handhelds were an immature market before COVID, it's natural for prices to come down / products to improve due to competition. Nobody can keep the Raspberry Pi in stock, so prices have risen. <cite>BewmHedshot posted [p:980510340] in How come t...
