I don’t know, I think that might be overstating it a bit. Even the highest cost 8GB Pi 4 model tops out at $75 without accessories but I can only find 2 listings on Ebay at the moment for MFF PCs that can beat that price, also without accessories.
Pi has been ridiculously expensive and hard to get from 2020 to 2023, and we’ve had applications where we’ve been deploying them.
Think we’ve seen cost up to $200 for a complete kit.
You need power, SD-card, a case, and depending on application also a micro HDMI adapter. It all adds up.
Slight difference if you are just upgrading in place, but comparing the unit price of a bare Pi to a computer with everything that you need is not apples to apples.
Wait where are you getting these things new for that price? I’m interested, but the lowest I can find is this. I brought up ebay because it was lowest price I could find, but if they’re even cheaper new, I could use one.
No idea where the other guy is getting his Lenovos. We’ve been buying Pi’s because of form factor and GPIO.
We had a fair share of those Lenovos in the office when I started (I think they were around $500 in our config back then), but they’ve all been replaced with laptops now.
In my department we run around with $3000 MacBook Pros, so not very budget minded at all.
You can buy 7th Gen Intel 4-core with 16GB DDR4 & 128GB SSD for cheaper than a Raspberry Pi 4.
I have both a Pi4 & a ThinkCentre which is significantly more powerful, doesn’t take up much more space.

eBay is not where we buy new hardware.
