Re: What Raspberry Pi should I buy?

Agree with most of what has been written. What are your projects? Software or hardware? Hobby or study/profession? Pis will throttle themselves to avoid overheating.

Re: What Raspberry Pi should I buy?

Re: What Raspberry Pi should I buy?

No there isn't, I'm from Mexico. Thank you for answering :D That creates other possibilities... Depends on *where* in Mexico you are. If close enough, can you cross into the US and find a brick&mortar store where you can buy a Pi and just take it home with you? There are certainly such in southern ...

Re: What Raspberry Pi should I buy?

I'm guessing he's from New Zealand, from his userid. I recommend he use Element 14 which supplies goods to NZ out of Singapore - next day service, or a few days depending on stocks. RPi 4B+ 2GB is NZ$64, with free delivery if your order is more than NZ$100's worth. Adding case, HDMI cable, & PSU wi...

Yes It's probably a matter of import duties, which may or may not be an exercise in trying to protect local producers.

Yes Thanks for answering! :D and yes, it's expensive, but that's the price in amazon (with free shipping), there are other websites that sell them for 30 USD but the shipping are another 30 USD, so it ends up being ...

What Raspberry Pi should I buy?

Hi, as the title says, I want to buy my very first Raspberry Pi but I'm not sure what to do. I live in a Developing country so, things are expensive here (unless you want to give me one for free ;) jk), I need to choose between buying a Raspberry Pi Zero W for around 20 USD or should I invest more a...
