I see different use cases for Raspberry Pi.
In this context, "Raspberry Pi" refers to a category, not a specific product. Over the years a healthy category of small, Linux-running, ARM-based SBCs has emerged. Now there are numerous entries <https://itsfoss.com/raspberry-pi-alternatives/> in this category, from a $33 mini SBC <https://www.mouser.ca/ProductDetail/Onion/OM-O2P/?qs=j%252B1pi9TdxUZwq9NawX9MnA%3D%3D> to the $300 Nvidia Jetson Orin Nano <https://www.amazon.ca/NVIDIA-Jetson-Orin-Nano-Developer/dp/B0BZJTQ5YP>, including entries from Asus and a variety of fruit-based names. Even the tiny Zero has more than a dozen alternatives <https://itsfoss.com/raspberry-pi-zero-alternatives/>. Full credit is due to the Raspberry Pi Foundation for creating the category. But if the desire is for a base for IoT devices there are entries that are far better value and more likely sized to your needs. - Evan
