      The only Raspberry Pi cheaper than 10€ is the Raspberry Pi Zero (no wifi) that launch at 5€/$5, the Raspberry Pi Zero W (with wifi) launch at 10€/$10, both in 2015. Raspberry Pi 1, 2 and 3 launched at 35€ and since the 4 and 5, it’s a bit more complicated because they have different RAM options. Today, the RPi4 1GB is sold 37,90€. Availability is more of an issue. But in terms of pricing it’s not bad ! I have the feeling, people’s expectations for a Raspberry Pi are a bit distorted. No, you don’t get a top of the line gaming PC for 40€… But even a RPi2 is still good for a tone of useful projects!
