A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

substantial price hike

it’s €50 more expensive than the FP4 with the same RAM/storage configuration on its release (€650 fot 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage).

Also it's 3x cheaper than my pentium that i bought in 1997 and it has 3000x less ram than this. I know that we don't have that kind of exponential growth of hardware like we had 10 years ago, but still there is progress and it's expected to have a better product for the same price each generation.
