Well, "starting at"...
The 4GB version ("wenn schon, denn schon"... ;-) ) is $55, add to that
that you need also a 5V/3A power supply, a SD card and now new (mini)
HDMI cables or adapters. Add a screen/monitor to it, and/or a camera,
keyboard, mouse and you are north of $100, in range where you get a low
end notebook these days...
Nevertheless, it is a nice step of evolution, specially now that it has
a dedicate Gigabit Ethernet and WiFi chip and doesn't (ab)use the USB
controller for that as on previous models. Wish they could decide to
make a 2 or 3 Ethernet port model, so you can build a really nice and
handy firewall/VPN gateway... :P
That said, Lazarus was workable on a RPi3B+, with just 1GB of RAM...
