Couldn't you buy four 10 year old laptops?

Anyone can buy a brand new raspberry pi 4 with 4GB of RAM for around 50€, which fits on the palm of your hand. You can even get them delivered to your doorstep with a few mouse clicks.

The same can't really be said for 10 year old laptops.

Yes, for the former you have to walk across the room and dig in the closet, optionally ask friends.
