Raspberry Pi is on the stocks & prices will increase – what are the alternatives for the Raspberry Pi 5 & Rasperry Pi zero 2 w?

Last Updated on July 2, 2024 by pg@petergamma.org

Peter Gamma from www.petergamma.org expects an increase in price for Raspberry Pi products caused by this especially for the latest and best Raspberry Pi products.

For instance the Raspberry Pi 5:

Peter Gamma found as an alternative the Orange Pi 5:

One of the best YouTube video reviewer about the Orange Pi 5 is biblioman09 from Spain:

And for the Raspberrry Pi zero 2 w:

the MangoPi MQ-Quad as an alternative:

The following rewiew is entiteled as:

a True Raspberry Pi Zero 2 Competitor – 4 cores & 1GB of RAM benchmarked

But is the MangoPi MQ-Quad not only a competitor to the Raspberry Pi zero 2 w as far as hardware is concerned?

Can these devices really compete as far as software support is concerned?

The Raspberry Pi OS, was developed over that last 10 years:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raspberry_Pi_OS

It cannot compete as far as software support is concerned. Since where is the community of users who develops software for this device?

MangoPi MQ-Quad it offers:

  • Allwinner MCore-H616
  • 4xA53
  • Up To 1.5 GHz
  • 1GB DRAM
  • It has ubc-c
  • It has double the Ram of the Raspberry Pi zero 2 w:
  • And there is now an armbian image available:

https://forum.armbian.com/topic/23201-cnx-software-mangopi-mq-quad-sbc-%E2%80%93-allwinner-h616-meets-raspberry-pi-zero-w-form-factor

  • It is available on Aliexpress for 30 USD.
  • It was an alternative to the Raspberry Pi zero 2 w during the chip crisis. but only as far as hardware is concerned.
  • It then offered a Debian image, but who has used it?
  • But now, there is also an armbian image available. This was was requested by users.
  • But the armbian image has been critizised to be heavy.

Information for product sellers who do stock market speculation and scalping with products mentioned by Peter Gamma on www.petergamma.org



According to the little experience of Peter Gamma from www.petergamma.org, many of the products listed here are still full of issues which need to be resolved. If you do stock market speculation and scalping with those, you will loose Peter Gamma from www.petergamma.org as a buyer of these products and as a reviewer. Is this not risky? Will you not loose a majority of your costumers as well?

And is it not so, that society in general does not accept stock market speculation and scalping with products as those which are listed here? And will you not be politically incapable of finding a majority of the voters if you do stock market speculation and scalping with these products?

And as a consequence will you not be condemned and punished by a political referendum soon? Especially if you do this to a Swiss, since are not majority of Swiss against stock market speculations and scalping with people on a budget? And people in Switzerland are known for a lot of political referendums, since we have direct democracy in this country.

And Peter Gamma from www.petergamma.org will fight up to the European Court of Human Rights against people who do stock market speculation and scalping with the products which are mentioned on www.petergamma.org. And if they do not have yet the legal basis there to do so, he will fight for it.

What is a scalper?

A scalper is someone who buys something and resells it at a price far above the initial cost. For instance some says: “He got theater tickets through a scalper”: Someone who buys tickets to an event in order to resell them at a profit. And is it not also scalping if you take reviews from this site to make out of it a new product offer, and sell it for a higher price? We doubt that you will be successful with it. Since Peter Gamma will review your product and will user not come back to www.petergamma.org after that?
