Yep. Fail.
Yes not a bargain. Gouging.
Graham will also sell you the cheaper models, without forcing you to buy an overpriced "kit".
Graham has done his fair share of price gouging over the years.
Care to back this allegation that I am named in?
We work hard to offer consistent prices that reflect market costs and the added value for support and warranty that we are known for.

Yep, worldwide stock is going to be pretty steady going forward based on reports from Pi Foundation.
- delivery
eg. to Sydney I got $135 vs OP $145
- delivery
Will you have the Zero 2W back in stock soon?
No free shipping to the good states?
Dont worry there are plenty of cheaper options.
haha remember when these were US$35
NEVER with this performance or capacity.
Not the same, but equivalent given the time difference. I got a Pi 3B for $US29 over 5 years ago. Tech changes a lot in 5 years. If capacity and performance of the pi kept up with normal computers, this pi 4 8GB would be much cheaper.
I’m running Home Assistant on a 3B…seems fine
@myfeetarehappy: As was I, but I found a few aspects that took longer than I'd like to do, the main one being things that utilised the Supervisor/OS: updates, managing add-ons, etc. Much improved on my mini x86 box.
I got my Pi 3B for AU$63.53 shipped, May 2018.
That was the pi3, pi4 never below the $50 mark
Weren't the whole point of these were cheap computers?
You can get a Pi Pico wireless for $10. Now with Bluetooth support.
But yes, I no longer see so much point in these more powerful Pis, with all the cheap USFF going.
Under $100 for an ex-lease USFF with warranty that is more powerful and complete.How many people are actually using the GPIO headers on a Pi 4?
I’m loving the small size, and running it off of a POE to usb c adapter (not a POE hat). Can tuck it away anywhere.
with all the cheap USFF going.
I'd like to mount a Pi with camera module inside the top of my letterbox, along with four AA eneloops to power it and a bit of electronics (power supply controlled by an I2C real-time clock chip), and have a small solar panel mounted on the roof of the letterbox to charge the eneloops.
I'd have it connect to my home's wifi and email a photo everyday at 4pm, so I know if I receive any mail.
That's just an example of the things that can be done with an RPi that can't be done with an USFF.
Yeah I get, just this model seems a bit overkill for something like that.
@Mooncakes: I see your point. I would assume people are mostly using the 4GB and 8GB models of RPi for either web browsing, or for running multiple docker containers at the same time.
I was until recently running Linux on an ancient PC (Core 2 Duo CPU, 2GB DDR2 RAM), and I can confirm that modern web browsers gobble memory at a ridiculous rate. I was regularly having to reboot the computer while web browsing with about 8 tabs open, as it was locking up, as it was running out of free memory. I was able to confirm, using Linux's "top" utility, that the web browser was the cause of all system memory being used. So I can easily believe that a 4GB RPi could suffer the same problem, but an 8GB RPi would be less likely to have such problems.
Also, RPi is a good computer for people camping or living "off the grid", as it's not hard to find a power supply to run it from 12V or 24V DC supply. If you want to run an USFF and larger PCs, you normally need an inverter, adding significantly to the power consumed. If you need an inverter, you probably can't match the power consumption of the RPi, at under 10W.
How many people are actually using the GPIO headers on a Pi 4?
Members of the general public? Probably very few, and of those that are, most are probably using a purchased "hat" rather than bit-bashing the I/Os.
But I have seen RPis used quite extensively by businesses making prototypes of new products, bit-bashing the I/Os, or at least they were until the current shortages. Lately I have seen them making the first prototype with an RPi, and then I steer them towards similar SBCs that aren't having shortages, like the Beaglebone Black. However those SBCs have considerably less community support for "newbies", so the RPi is still a good choice for first prototypes.
will it almost run Crysis
Not a deal imho, as others have posted core has a good deal and their shipping is fast..
Prices are pie in th3 sky, nothing see here kiddies not paying the pie tax which similar to Apple tax
Just having an item in stock at an inflated price doesn’t make it a deal.
Got that email from them as well - most people wouldn't want the 8gb or at that price and the other ones were out of stock. Only used pi Aus for the official screen and case, which were harder to find and the price was fine. Also recommend core.
Price gouging -1
Email just came in 4gb in stock.
Still a rip, I paid $92
Its cheaper on Core Electronics https://core-electronics.com.au/raspberry-pi-4-model-b-8gb.h…
