14 DAY TRIAL // The Raspberry Pi Foundation has recently announced a promo that makes the 2GB Raspberry Pi 4 a product that you must have right here, right now.
As part of the eight anniversary of the organization, the 2GB Raspberry Pi 4 is now available at the price of the 1GB version, so you get double the amount of RAM at the same price.
What this means in pricing is that the Raspberry Pi 4 with 2GB RAM now costs $35 instead of $45. This is the same price of the 1GB version, which for some reason will continue to be available for purchase for certain customers, according to the Raspberry Pi Foundation, although they do admit that most people would just go for the 2GB configuration.
“The fall in RAM prices over the last year has allowed us to cut the price of the 2GB variant of Raspberry Pi 4 to $35. Effective immediately, you will be able to buy a no-compromises desktop PC for the same price as Raspberry Pi 1 in 2012,” the organization explains.
No price cut for the top version
The 4GB version of the Raspberry Pi 4 isn’t getting a price cut, so it continues to be available at $55. Most likely, however, the 2GB configuration will become the star of the show given this permanent discount – this is most likely an indication that sooner or later the 1GB version will be retired.
“In line with our commitment to long-term support, the 1GB product will remain available to industrial and commercial customers, at a list price of $35. As there is no price advantage over the 2GB product, we expect most users to opt for the larger-memory variant,” the Raspberry Pi Foundation says.
Going forward, the Raspberry Pi Foundation will continue to sell the same three versions of the Raspberry Pi 4, albeit consumers can only choose the 2GB or the 4GB configurations.
