minus-squarehelenslunchEnglisharrow-up1arrow-down2·9 months agolinkfedilinkIt’s “okay” but you can do much better for the price.

minus-squarehelenslunchEnglisharrow-up2arrow-down1·9 months agolinkfedilinkI agree that’s a better device but I don’t think it’s fair to compare new to used. You could probably buy a used Pi4 for $20, and if that is sufficient for your needs, would be a much better deal.
