      $60 for the 4GB model. Getting a little RAM raises the price astronomically.

        3 Gb for $25? that's astronomical?

          I mean sure, it's nearly double in price from the baseline, but outside of that, it's not seemingly horrible price.

            Seriously? With dual monitor and 4GB and the size of a credit card? $60 is pricey?

              Yes, it is about the comparative cost to its other versions.
              Is memory that expensive? Why offer versions? Could a standard 4GB only release have been lower cost (but higher than $35) due to less complexity, and more purchasing power?

              Chicago Electronic Distributors lists the units for:

              • 1GB = $35
              • 2GB = $45 (28.57% price jump for double the RAM)
              • 4GB = $55 (57.14% price jump for quadruple the RAM)

              https://chicagodist.com/products/raspberry-pi-4-model-b-4gb

              But to your point, no, $60 is not expensive.

                I look forward to getting one fo these and seeing if it can now run Netflix/Crunchyroll better. The Pi3 could not do it well.

                      Looks like this could be finally a good thin client choice...

                        Thin client yes, desktop computer no.

                        The Asus tinkerboard already had 4 cores @ 1.8Ghz, 2GB RAM and real gigabit ethernet. It is about twice the speed of the Raspberry Pi 3B. Still not fast enough for general desktop use IMHO.

                        Even if the Pi 4 is as fast as the tinkerboard or perhaps even a bit faster, it still will come up short I think. I don't know what it is lacking but I fear that it has to do with storage speed. If you could hook up an SATA ssd or something that can do 500MB/s without going over USB these ARM boards could finally reach up to the speed of a lower end Intel cpu's.

                          @scottalanmiller These are intended for Pi-hole use, so the extra horsepower isn't needed.... just craptacular timing ( compounded by the rpi3's sticker price dropping at the vendor :disappointed_face: )
