    The Raspberry Pi era is well and truly over IMO. Nobody will spec them for new projects at these prices and unless you absolutely need the specific combination of size, power consumption and GPIO there are much better options for almost any application. ESP32s and other dirt-cheap microcontrollers with radios on the low end, new or used mini PCs and the like on the high end. Consider the fact that this new $385 price tag *still* does not include:

    * A case

    * A cooler

    * A power supply

    * Storage (SD card or NVMe SSD... the latter of which requires yet another purchase in the form of an NVMe hat)

    Stick a fork in it, it's done.

    It'd be nice if they just made a pi with a SODIMM socket on it and let you pick your own. That probably would not play nice with the rest of their SOC but that would take the sting out of this kind of situation.
