I really struggle to see where this fits in to most use cases. The appeal of the Pi back in the first iterations was being a relatively cheap linux computer with GPIO.
People have been saying this for years, yet Raspberry Pis just keep on selling with no trouble.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Two months ago I bought a M4 Mini w/16GB and 512GB HDD for $599. Granted they're up to $799 right now, but a Rpi is now $350 when they used to be $35? You're correct; they've jumped the shark.
The linked model has 16x the amount of RAM that $35 model had. You can still get a 1GB model for less than $50.
This is just very expensive for what it is.
And am I correct to see that the USB-C only does power? How do you connect your pheripherals to this board?
Even worse, continued RAM shortages and inflation might actually mean that will have been a good price in a year's time.

Then the hobby community got wind of it and proceeded to buy out all the stock on every release (myself included, I still have one of every first 3 versions sitting in my cabinet)
