There’s a great deal on Amazon right now for the Raspberry Pi 4 Model B which finally sees the price below half the retailer’s list price. Priced at $79.99 (was $190) you can save $110 on the SBC – an absurd 58% savings lopped off the MSRP.
The Raspberry Pi 5 launched not too long ago, making this a great opportunity for you to pick up the older model. Once impossible to get hold of thanks to supply chain issues – stock levels have finally balanced out again. The Pi 4 Model B sports an ARM Cortex a72 chip alongside 8GB RAM, making this a fine choice for retro gamers and emulation enthusiasts. If that’s the case, you might want to protect it with one of the best Raspberry Pi cases too.
Raspberry Pi 4 Model B
One of the main attractions of the Raspberry Pi 4 Model B is the GPIO (general purpose input / output) ports. Tinkerers and engineers will be able to use this to add custom components, buttons, mini-touchscreens and more to the device. You might consider hooking the GPIO ports up to levers and a arcade push buttons to turn your Raspberry Pi into a fight stick controller, or using it read data from your environment to enhance your garden’s filtration system.
One of the Raspberry Pi’s best qualities is the modularity that its hardware offers. With USB, Ethernet, HDMI and other connectivity ports abundant, the only limiting factor to the device is actually finding one. Well, thanks to this deal on Amazon, not only is it possible to get your hands on one, but you can do so at an extraordinarily low price finally.
