Cool. Hopefully better availability than the predecessors in previous years.
Still motherfucking micro-HDMI, god damn it! I hate my RPi 4 and end up using my 3 more because of it. I'd much rather have a single HDMI (or DisplayPort) output, instead of two micro-HDMI.
They could even have a second USB C port and have display output on that plus a full size hdmi instead of the two shitty micro HDMI ports
It doesn’t matter if they don’t make enough to meet demand.
I'm torn. On one hand, $60 is an incredible introductory price for the 4 GB model. On the other hand, it still falls behind the Orange Pi 5, which can be found for very reasonable prices similar to the 8 GB model, and is still even more powerful. There's no doubt the community support will be outstanding as it always has been for the Raspberry Pi, but as somebody who's seeking out the highest performance for x86/64 gaming (box86 and box64), I don't know if I could justify getting a weaker SBC. I still might grab a couple of the 8 GB models to add to my proxmox cluster...
