  A 4 is ~$10 more, according to your research. Just buy a 4. It is newer and much more powerful.

  Where is the best place to buy Pi 4 and what "starter" kit do you suggest? I have no specific plans for it but would not mind introducing my children (and myself) to coding?

  I was looking for the same couple of weeks back but least I could find was $59.5 and $74.5 for local stocks

  Technically you can get a Raspberry Pi 4 with 2GB RAM for $60 incl shipping.

    Thanks a lot for the tip. I clicked personal in the prompt and was redirected to resellers when I was checking couple of weeks ago

      just click business.
      as power supply you can take the official one, or the one with multiple plugs :

  Raspberry Pi 4 with 2GB RAM is more than enough. What are you using it for?

  How can one tell if it's got the USB-C fix?

  Just trying to get Octoprint and basic things to run on it

    Just remember the 3 and 4 are power hungry. I couldn't get the 3 to run properly without a specific power supply because my other USB and mobile chargers couldn't meet the requirements (They were all 2.4amps, the 3 needs 2.5+ to run properly, and I think 5.1V vs 5.0).

    The 4 Needs a good USB-C powersupply. If I was going to buy them again, I'd get bundles with powersupply and case included.
