Raspberry Pi gets eye-watering price rises, new 3GB RAM model

I realised a while ago that it’s way cheaper to hunt for second-hand intel NUCs, and the resulting machine is way more powerful… And the RAM and storage is upgradeable, if the NUC didn’t come with plenty of storage or RAM already…
Basically the only benefit the Pi has is GPIO pins for embedded projects.
That’s not true afaik. In my understanding the RPi much lower energy footprint than any NUC or Mac.
