A 2GB Raspberry Pi 4 now costs 50% more than it did at launch

So…any good alternative? Rpi has been very expensive in my country since the start as here we don’t have any dealer, so price will always be 60% to 100% more expensive than MSRP. I don’t mind chinese brand, there should be a shit tons of chinese brand.

Keep an eye out for any thin clients that can’t support Win11 that businesses are getting rid of. You might have some luck with them.

I’m looking at old optiplex, it’s significantly cheaper than rpi5, bigger in size though. I wonder how much power it will consume while hosting cloud storage, jellyfin, and home assistant.
