How often is that the case? Are you really saving so much more money with a 10W board vs a 15W system to offset the purchasing price?
It's like 1.5x longer run time on battery power :shrug:

While there is some commercial/industrial use of RPi, that seems like an odd consideration when generally considering how they've positioned the brand. Meanwhile you can write and run very similar code across everything from the zero all the way up to the 5—which is enormous flexibility that x86 simply doesn't offer. Plus, my understanding is that the N100 still tends to have poor driver support issues that the Pi li…
>While there is some commercial/industrial use of RPi I thought the whole reason for the shortages the last few years was due to commercial applications buying out most of the Pi's available?
Sure, but that's not why people find raspberry pis interesting or valuable.

Oh yeah if you like the 3A+ you might even be able to get away with the Zero 2W, it has the same chip. And it's even cheaper.
I don't mind spending a bit more for the 3A+ to not have to deal with the adapters like microUSB to USB-A host ports for my 3D printers. Or for video displays having Ethernet and full-sized HDMI. I do have a Zero 2W just in case, but for my current use cases I just like the 3A+ more.

Just to clarify, the M.2 HAT+ does fit in the official case, you just can't put the lid on.

Are you getting confused by the 2040?

Yep rpi5 does not make sense anymore. N100 goes for $110 on sale with 512gb nvme/16gb of ram/psu/case all included. It completely roasts rpi5 while staying with x64 Linux.
Really? Where?

Every raspberry pi, from Zero, Zero W, Zero 2 (great name guys), Pi 1, Pi 2, Pi 3, Pi 4, Pi 5 and every variation are all general purpose linux computers that can run pretty much any code you can run on a normal linux computer. They are all the same compilation target IIRC. If you wrote a program for the original Pi, you could have run it on every other Pi without modification or recompilation, depending on periphera…
