This is nice but it's impossible to get a Raspberry Pi 4 anymore without selling a kidney.

You could make a request to rpilocator for support in your region.

Stock is set to improve this year anyway so don't sell your kidney quite yet.

I hope so. I’m wondering when the pi5 is due. I thought it was meant to be 2023 but internet says no now :(

My money is 2023. Eben never announces releases early so what he did/didn't say in that recent interview is meaningless. With the added bonus that this time he can also screw over all the scalpers. Let's see!

I thought they announced no pi5 this year specifically.

He said "don't expect a pi 5 next year [2023]". In my optimistic mind that's because he wants to maintain the surprise. I know this is foolish, I know the background of his statement, but I'm going to keep the faith for something in Q3. Maybe it'll be a 4+ instead.

> impossible

Exaggeration. I can walk to a shop 20 minutes away and buy them off the shelf for RRP.

That's nice. I live in Taiwan, there's no where to buy it off the shelf.

I could get it off Amazon but it's $260 USD.

Someone who lives in Cambridge saying "let them eat cake" ?

You are very fortunate. https://rpilocator.com/

Seriously, where in the world do you live? Plane tickets will likely be cheaper than aquiring one here

When's the last time you actually went to check if they are on the shelf?

Then why aren't you reselling them?
