There's been much debate about Raspberry Pi straying from its mission to provide affordable computers. I disagree.

Raspberry Pi offers models ranging from $10 to $120, all readily available — more so than ever.

Adjusted for inflation, the original $35 Raspberry Pi Model B (launched 2012) would be $50 today. The Raspberry Pi 5 2GB is also $50 today and vastly outperforms the original, delivering far greater bang for buck.

Though I can’t speak to their internal decisions, it’s seems from the outside that they continue to try to maximise the value of the Raspberry Pi while maintaining the original price point.
