Sparkfun also has them for preorder. They have the US power adapter, as well, but you can supposedly power them with the older rpi4 power adapter if you don't mind reduced performance.
https://www.sparkfun.com/news/8391

On The Pi Hut site, the pages and cart are in USD, but the checkout is in GBP (and around the same numbers for price). Assuming they really mean that and an 8GB (66 GBP), case (8 GBP), and cooler (4 GBP), plus shipping (12 GBP) totals around 90 GBP, which converts to about $110 today.

On sparkfun, the 8GB ($80), case ($10), and cooler ($5) total $95, but you can add the $12 power adapter to hit $107 and get free shipping (starts at $100).

If someone can confirm that The Pi Hut's USD prices are what we'd actually get charged, I'd like to know, since the exchange rates would make that a better deal.

Edit: Went as far as the paypal checkout. Paypal has an even worse exchange rate than DDG, so the Pi Hut order would be $114.27 right now. Without a PSU.
I was waiting for the 5. But this update is more of a nothing burger, especially the IO. I would probably get one rpi 5 for fun but thats it. I will go for orange Pi/intel n100 for my cluster node. I think they are the superior opyions to the pi 5. (I already have rpi 4 and rpi zero)
KAMRUI AK2 Plus Mini PC, Intel 12th Gen Alder Lake- N100(up to 3.4GHz) Micro Computer, 16GB DDR4 RAM 500GB SSD Mini Desktop Computer Support 4K HD/WiFi 5/BT4.2/Gigabit Ethernet for Home/Office https://a.co/d/4N5Q2eg

$150 but needs nothing to be fully functional. No hats, no storage, no power supply, no fan, etc.

No way! Previous announcement was Q1 2024 at earliest!
Anyone see a review? Dying to know what we get with the 5.

PCIe headers aren't the same as NVME headers, are they?

Sparkfun 8GB kit appears to be the best bang for the buck so far. Free shipping helps.

It doesn't come with a case or a cooler. Ignoring the Pi and power supply, you're essentially paying $23 for the microHDMI cable, 64 GB microSD, and the i2c shim. Most people won't have any use for the shim (I actually wish I put a few in my order, but I don't want to risk updating it) and you can definitely get a microHDMI cable and a larger/better microSD card for less than $23 total.

well, technically speaking an m.2 is just another form of PCIe so in a way it's the same but not the same form factor for sure. You need an m.2 hat on top of the RPI5 to get an m.2 drive installed.

M.2 is not NVME. M.2 is just a physical connector plug type. It can carry USB, PCIE, NVME and/or SATA.

The Pi5 doesn't have an M.2 connector. It has a connector for a flex cable. This connector supports PCIE but not USB.

If you want to use a Cellular modem pcie card, which expects USB pins on a PCIE slot, it won't work without a pcie-to-usb controller to convert the pcie lane to an m.2 USB connector.
