I didn't believe it, i mean they were pricey as hell but this is taking the biscuit now 😞

    I feel pretty mixed about this to be honest. I haven't bought a Pi in a long time but from what I can see the 5 is pretty clever. It's expensive but RAM is insanely expensive right now. 16GB of RAM alone is expensive. That same RAM jump would cost thousands from Apple.

    Meanwhile, the Pi 3 is still on sale for around £30, and the Pi Zero for closer to £10. If you genuinely want something for embedded systems or running scripts the older models are still fantastic for that. The Pi 5 is a viable desktop computer and just in a different category IMO.
