Ventuno Q kicks a bunch of hobbyist out.
The pre-orders are open. 300$ USD, or 500$ CAD here. The cost of a laptop.
I have disposable incomes, but this is a pretty steep price to see for the hobby.
The UNO Q was still acceptable for entry level because it gave you the new Arduino App Lab that leverage the power of a SBC, but now the Ventuno Q is at a price point where an entry level hobbyist wouldn't consider it, and where I personally wouldn't consider it because if I had to spend that money on a SBC, I would go with something more targeted because I don't need the Arduino App Labs to develop software.
What's your thought?
