The cheapest rpi that isn’t a zero or pico started at $35. You can buy a Pi 4 Model B 1GB for $35 on pishop.us right now.
The pi 5 won’t ever be $35 because that’s not the price point it was designed to hit. That’s why they have a range of products, so you can buy the one that fits your budget.
Of course the pi 4 is still part of the product range. It’s still being actively manufactured and sold. Same for the pi3.
As far as memory size, that wasn’t part of your original complaint. You want a $35 computer, that’s how much you get. The original pi was $35 and had 256mb of ram.
-edit also, $35 in 2012 is $47 today with inflation. The pi 4 is a crazy good deal and readily available. This complaint just has no merit.

Its a 5-year old product. With 5 year old specs.
As far as memory size, that wasn’t part of your original complaint.
Yes I also didn’t specify a clock speed, storage size, network speed, etc. What I meant was a modern version of an old product with similarly modern specs.
$35 in 2012 is $47 today
And yet the Pi5 starts at $60.
You’re also missing the other half of this conversation where other SBCs have come way down in price.
Le Potato, Orange Pi, Zima products, Rockchip, not to mention all the X86 mini PCs, old office PCs, etc.

Can’t do much with 1GB. And the Pi4 isn’t part of a “product range”, it’s the previous generation product.

It’s a Pi. Cutting edge (or even modern or high end) specs have never been it’s selling point or goal.
This is just goal moving at this point. And stating just plain incorrect facts. I’m out.
I’m not moving the goal posts, you just ignored one of them.
I didn’t ignore anything. You edited your reply to make it look like I did.
I replied at 7:31GMT. You replied to that at 7:34GMT. You edited your original post at 7:44GMT for some reason.
This isn’t reddit where you can’t see when or if someone edited their comment.
Yeah no shit. I didn’t remove anything. Just added it. The part you ignored is still there.
Go ahead and honor your promise to be “out”.
