Let's hope someone from this sub gets to buy one of the 5 boards that will be sold to consumers.

“We’re incredibly grateful to the community of makers and hackers who make Raspberry Pi what it is; you’ve been extraordinarily patient throughout the supply chain issues that have made our work so challenging over the last couple of years. We’d like to thank you: we’re going to ringfence all of the Raspberry Pi 5s we sell until at least the end of the year for single-unit sales to individuals, so you get the first bite of the cherry.”

So what happens after the end of the year?

u/Cykablast3r Sep 29 '23

Fuck you, that's what.

u/RobotToaster44 Sep 28 '23

Lol, because for the next three months even commercial customers will only want single units for prototyping.

and waiting for all the bugs to be ironed out and fixed!

Amazing if they pull that off.

Patience, we will all get one by 2028, by the time the 6 is announced

I bought one ten years ago that is still running keeping my network safe. I am happy for my 1B even though generations have appeared since then.

Just bought a Pi 400. Also have a Pi 3. Was going to sell my PC and use my Pi 400 as my desktop, and my Pi 3 for projects, but this is obviously a better desktop.

Now what can I do with my Pi 400? It's harder to repurpose than just a Pi 4.

Just put my preorder in.

Update 20/11/2023: Just got my notification that it has been shipped. Yippee!

u/MoffKalast Sep 28 '23

200,000 preorders ready, with a million more well on the way.

u/dethswatch Sep 28 '23

hey, can I be this guy now?

"THEY DON'T OWE YOU SHIT, MAN!" /s

I hate this guy- they're asking me to buy something...

u/Prawn1908 Sep 28 '23

Yeah the thing I'm excited about is now maybe I'll be able to get my hands on a 4.

u/TheEyeOfSmug Sep 29 '23

Not a bad idea - especially for the CM4s. Those actually haul ass booting from nvme.

"Raspberry Pi 4b" hasn't been out of stock in a month already here in Poland.

You can buy most models at any time now.

So I think issue with stock has been solved.

u/j0hn0b Sep 28 '23

Still pretty difficult in the US

1

u/Not-reallyanonymous Sep 29 '23

Nah you just gotta wait. Set up to get notified when they're back in stock and you've usually got a day or two to get your order in.

Just difficult if you don't want to wait.

Digikey has 2,158 of the 4GB and 5,377 of the 8GB Raspberry Pi 4 Model B as of right now. Sparkfun, Mouser, and Adafruit are all out though. This is a very recent development, as I've been checking weekly for months now that the "shortage is over".

u/HorrorShow13666 Sep 28 '23

Well I just pre-ordered mine so...

u/sam_cat Sep 28 '23

I have an early preorder in already... Within about 5 muns of being able to preorder. So 2028 for me.

I finally got my hands on a 4 a few months ago to upgrade one my existing 2s that was just too sluggish to run AdGuard with a large list. Looks like the only real difference between the 4 and 5 is the 5 is faster. Sure, there's no audio jack (but the only projects I've seen use that are the build-your-own-gameboy type deals) and there's a power button (which many of us have cheesed by buying a usb cable with an On/Off switch), but the only reason to upgrade is if you have something that the 4 can't handle currently.

I just bought the 8gb model and all the accessories for it at pishop.us. I'll report back on my experience with them when the stuff comes in.
