    Just wait for a few months for an existing stock of prebuilt PCs to run out, and you’ll see their price jump even higher.

    Cheap Chinese Pi knockoffs like OrangePi are also becoming more expensive, it’s because the cost of the components increases. AI companies now buying all RAM and every RAM, even ancient DDR3.
