Arduino Uno Q Joins the Price Hike Wave — Act Fast Before July 6th

Arduino's Uno Q microcomputer is getting a significant price increase starting July 6th, with both the 2GB and 4GB models jumping by $15–$20. If you're eyeing it as a Raspberry Pi alternative, the window to buy at current prices is closing fast.

Arduino's Uno Q — the company's Raspberry Pi-style microcomputer powered by a Qualcomm Dragonwing QRB2210 processor — is the latest device to take a price hit.

What's Changing

Both configurations are seeing notable jumps:

2GB model: $44 → $59 (+$15)
4GB model: $59 → $79 (+$20)

The increases take effect on July 6th, giving buyers just over a week to lock in current pricing.

Why the Increase?

In a letter posted to the official Arduino blog, the company's Chief Product Officer Marcello Majonchi outlined the rationale behind the hike. While the full explanation points to broader supply chain pressures, the timing aligns with a wider industry trend of RAM-related cost increases hitting single-board computer makers across the board.

What It Means for Buyers

The Uno Q has been positioned as a competitive alternative to Raspberry Pi's current lineup. Even at the new price points, it remains in a comparable range — but the gap is narrowing. Anyone who's been sitting on the fence should move quickly before the window closes.
