Who would pay $120 for a Raspberry Pi?

Raspberry Pi's 16 GB Pi 5 completes their lineup: from 2 GB ($50) to 16 GB ($120).

Raspberry Pi sent me the Pi 5 used in this video for testing and review. They did not pay me to make this video, nor have any editorial input or review before the video was live.
