| This (the 16GB version) should not fit into most use cases. You’re buying an expensive RAM chip with a Pi attached. The cheaper 4GB or even 1GB versions ($50 for the latter) are what most people should be looking at for their projects. |

| I have decided that the Pi4 1GB is the ideal for hobbyists. Faster than Pi3, takes normal USB-C charging, and can do most single server or electronics jobs. Which is why it is currently sold out. |

I use a Pi4B 8GB as a home server with a number of duties. Less power consumption than the Pi 5 (and no heatsink), and it was the first to offer the combination of USB booting, more than 1GB RAM, and Gigabit Ethernet. And reasonably priced in 2019. |

| My personal fave RPi, the Zero W, is still $15 from Adafruit. |
