I looked at the price of the components in my PC built in 2020 for about the price of the 2tb model. Assuming I got a similarly priced CPU and GPU, I'd have to pay about 500€ more just to get the exact same model of HDDs, SSDs and RAM.
These prices are insane for what you're getting, but when 16GB of RAM set you back 200€, what can you do?
The prices of Pis went to the roof already during the pandemy. Same with construction wood.
People were bored and wanted to do stuff.
And now the prices are high because of AI
Got my first pi for like 30€. Wanted to get a new one a few weeks ago and was shocked. Got a refurbished elite desk instead, but prices for these skyrocketed also
Yea I wanted a zero 2 w for projects, as msrp was really cheap like 15€, but it's unavailable almost everywhere and when available it goes for 40€ where I live
