The 5 is the first Pi I haven't bought. I was willing to give them a lot of leeway for being so publicly favorable to linux, open source, etc. But after so many iterations of broken hardware, broken drivers, and features that never worked right I moved on. Compare a full Pi 5 against a N100 mini pc and you're gonna get more with the x86 option... and it just works.

Same price at Amazon
Plus cashback

Edit: Amazon is 4 gb
And Amazon prime credit card points
Easy mistake to make. I had sent my wife a link to the 8gb model which now points to the 4gb model. Don't know why some idiot would repoint a product link to a different model. It wasn't even a link with multiple selections.

Now they want to ship? Now RPi is available more freely?

Obnoxious. I've already built everything with n100s. Not much more expensive and more powerful anyhow. Still…. Grumpy face
How's the power consumption on the N100?

Quote from TalentedHaddock257 :
Yeah, the pricing makes no sense. Just use a regular mini-pc for equivalent functionality
The curves seem to have inverted at some point. The Pis were a great way to get good performance in a small form factor without spending a lot of money, in particular for lower compute use cases. Software was initially the problem.

Now, if you're buying a Pi you're inevitably doing so because you're using software custom developed for the Pi and have a use for the form factor, otherwise you'd be better off with any number of micro-PC builds that can run a full blown Windows OS in almost as small a form factor for nearly the same money.

once you add the cost of the case , sd card and charger block.... might as well go with a NUC

I'm running HA on one of these [amazon.com]

I think this is good price if you want portability of the RPi. I have RPi running enviro+ to monitor the air and running BirdNet-Pi to identify birds coming to my bird feeder.
If you want to run something like Plex or seed box machine or docker containers, there are better machines for it (and for not much more money).
Why did you need go tell me about Birdnet? 😁

Remember you'll want to get a fan or heatsink or case with a fan for this...and you'll need a better power supply than a standard USB wall wart...

Echoing what everyone is saying - a RPi is no longer the best value for money and they have gotten greedy after covid and IPO. Unless you have a very specific usecase that needs a Pi, a general purpose MiniPC would serve you better.

Wish MC had advertised this promo before I finally decided to buy this 8GB RPi5 [aliexpress.us] from AliExpress last week.
