It's actually Raspberry Pi 500+ review. Difference includes mechanical keyboard, LED lighting, 16GB of RAM, and NVMe SSD storage.
Anyway, this finally looks like a nice ARM64 Linux desktop.
It seems like Raspberry Pi has been trying hard to push itself as a PC instead of a tinkering embedded systems board. I'm not sure how I feel about this, since you can get better performing computers for cheaper. That being said, I'm not sure if it even holds up as a reasonably priced hardware learning platform anymore, with esp32, arduino, and others providing a very similar learning curriculum at a fraction of the price.
For $200, how does it stack up against the competition? Only benchmarking it against itself seems like it's trying to make it seem better than it might actually be.
Looks a little like the Acorn Electron back in the 80s, a cut down version of the BBC B micro that didn't sell well. Hopefully they have better luck this time.
An RGB mechanical keyboard is an interesting but welcome choice. Definitely contributed to the piece increase to $200+ though
