The 16GB Raspberry Pi 5 got another ‘unavoidable’ RAM price hike (www.theverge.com)

But a powerful CPU was never the point of the raspi. It was intended to be a cheap computer for your own hobby projects, iot setup and to learn about hardware, sensors and programming. The price was low so it would not ruin you if you made a mistake and fried the hardware.

This is no longer the case when it costs 3 digits.

But you can still do that. Buy the 1GB Pi 4, it costs $35-$40.
