Wasn't the deal with raspberry pis that they were tiny and cheap? I'm out of the loop as usual, but what is the appeal of a raspberry laptop?

I would consider $300 very cheap for a laptop in 2025, though I imagine the appeal is more the open and “hackable” nature of the platform.

The CM5 performance is good enough for a casual web browsing machine, and it uses very little power, so it’ll last forever with a decent battery.
