It’s not about how many they can manufacture, it’s about how many they actually sell to consumers. I have given up trying to buy them. It’s just not worth the hassle.
Just checked for my country, and 4 out of 5 places had them in stock. Might be a local problem?
The issue isn’t the stock, it’s the price gouging.
So what is the price supposed to be? I'm seeing ~90€ for the 8gb variant
That sounds okay with taxes and stuff
I bought an old thinkcentre for $50 on ebay that trounces the Pi's performance.
Reduce, REUSE, recycle.
Can you attach any RPi HATS to it? No? Not an alternative then.
£79 is official RPi5 8GB price in the UK. So €90 sounds correct.
