    Wow, $80. I haven’t looked into these devices since the first one, but I thought the point of them was to be very cheap. I do wonder what these new more powerful ones are capable of. Perhaps the performance justifies the price.

      That’s a point, and that is still very cheap. There are many other models still available that are probably a better option for small hobby projects or people learning programming or physical computing.

        These are also the higher memory variants. Lower memory variants will likely come later at a lower price point.

      Hopefully they do release 1 and 2GB memory varoants which should be $35 and $45 respectively if they follow the pricing of previous models. The performance does look like a big upgrade over the Pi 4 at least.
