I stopped buying Raspberry Pis since refurbished mini PCs cost the same and do far more
Turns out the sticker price was lying.
The author of a recent article on XDA Developers stopped buying Raspberry Pis and instead opted for refurbished mini PCs, citing cost and performance as the reasons. They had considered purchasing a Raspberry Pi 5 8GB but were deterred by the price.
The author also inspired a friend to build a home lab, and together they created their own setups. Meanwhile, according to TechRadar, a new Raspberry Pi tutorial has been released, showing users how to build their own cyberdeck, a custom device designed to meet specific needs.
The cyberdeck tutorial, written by maker Brian Corteil, uses a Raspberry Pi 5 device, a Bluetooth keyboard, and a hard Pelican-style case, with additional peripherals such as a display and power supply. The total cost of the parts is around $250.
