    A 1.5GHz quad-core 64-bit ARM Cortex-A72 CPU (~3× performance)
    1GB, 2GB, or 4GB of LPDDR4 SDRAM
    Full-throughput Gigabit Ethernet
    Dual-band 802.11ac wireless networking
    Bluetooth 5.0
    Two USB 3.0 and two USB 2.0 ports
    Dual monitor support, at resolutions up to 4K
    VideoCore VI graphics, supporting OpenGL ES 3.x
    4Kp60 hardware decode of HEVC video
    Complete compatibility with earlier Raspberry Pi products

etc.

The $35 price is for the 1GB version - more memory costs more...

I've had a 4GB one for some time now and if all you want is a little desktop computer then this is almost all you'll need now.

No - it's not a heavyh duty gaming nor media edititing platform, but for day to day desktop use - it's more or less there.

Debian buster too, (32-bit) but no-doubt the 64-bit OSs will catch up very soon.

Cheers,

Rats - went on yesterday and the 4G were sold out but you could pre-order one on Pimoroni. Didn't bother as I was about to do a jetson nano course. Then today I discover the course on NVidia for my Jetson Nano requires a Pi V2 camera so I thought I'd be cheeky and order that as well and see if it got sent on early with free postage but you cant even pre-order a 4G one now!
