This is a good opportunity to state the fact that Raspberry Pi's value is not the hardware all on itself. The hardware actually lags behind some of the cheaper RPi clones out there, and misses some key features. Raspberry Pi's value lies on the software support for that platform. It ensures a best in class developer experience, which is key to actually serve it's purpose of an educational platform, and simplifies a great deal how to write software to run on it.
