Deal | Raspberry Pi 5 8GB gets rare 28% discount

The Raspberry Pi 5 might be one of the most popular and usually affordable devices in the maker community, but unfortunately, the little single-board computer has become much more expensive over the past few months and even years. First it was caused by the chip shortage, now it's the RAM and flash crisis that has skyrocketed the price to new all-time highs.

Thankfully, the well-known brick-and-mortar tech retailer Micro Center is currently running a noteworthy sale for the sought-after Raspberry Pi 5 with 8GB RAM. Instead of the $129 that Amazon and many other online shops are currently charging, the SBC can now be snagged for just $89 at select Micro Center locations in the US. Consequently, bargain hunters should check pricing and availability in their region on the corresponding product page.

Prospective buyers who aren't familiar with the Broadcom BCM2712 SoC and other specifications of the Raspberry Pi 5 should check out the official webpage of the Raspberry Pi Foundation, which should answer the most important questions. To make it short, the quad-core Arm CPU has enough power for various scenarios such as 4K60 HEVC decoding and output, which can turn the SBC into a DIY media player, for example.

Thanks to PCIe 2.0, 2x MIPI and GPIO, this tiny but versatile board can be expanded in numerous ways to fit specific use cases. Since the community of tinkerers is very active and has published thousands of intriguing tutorials and ideas for the little single-board computer, some tech enthusiasts might want to take advantage of this reasonable offer for the Raspberry Pi 5 8GB.
