Rasbperry Pis are losing their competitive edge for non-embedded applications to sub $150 mini PCs, which support Linux/Windows and will come with enclosure, NVMe slot, power button etc. The mini PCs are also generally much faster.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Cheaper to buy in the US than the UK.
We're not called Treasure Island for nothing.

A NVMe compatible M.2 M Key connector (like the Rock 5 Model B [0] has) would have been really nice. I'm starting to accumulate old but good, yet small in storage space terms NVMe's which I'm no longer needing, but which would be perfect for a Raspi. Even if the PCIe bus were an older generation and not as performant as the NVMe. The microSD card slot is really great to have, to get up-and-running, but once it's clea…
I recommend booting Pi 4 and Pi 400 from external (USB) NVMe in an enclosure.
This is exciting. I wish this would work without a fan, just with a good cooling system. I say this because I love the idea of a full linux computer without a fan. I'm loving the Apple silicon machines at the moment for this. Perfect silent computing. I wish it came as well in a larger board, with proper HDMI ports. There is a market for silent linux machines, I think! What would be your dream linux fan-less setup?
Were there any issues with the first wave of Pi 4 that would make it a smart move to hold off on ordering one for a few months?
anyone could tell me how did you use raspberry pi?
I'm tired of information being vague, under-specified, or only available under NDA (if you're lucky). I'm not stupid enough to hop on this ride again. Are there any fully open (in terms of schematics, firmware) RISCV rpi-"compatibles" out there? I'd be happy to pay triple the price of this thing for a power-efficient linux-capable sbc that is open.
What do you mean with vague information? There is an entire blog post describing the product: https://www.raspberrypi.com/news/introducing-raspberry-pi-5/
