This morning we’re getting our first glance at the new Raspberry Pi 4. The latest rendition of the popular microcomputer delivers upgraded specs, more I/O, and 4K support that makes it arguably the most powerful release to date. It will stay at the same $35 starting price as the previous-generation model, but with a bevy of notable upgrades for power users and tinkers alike. Raspberry Pi 4 offers a handful of configurations, headlined by a 4GB configuration which should be able to handle most everyday tasks like web browsing and email. If true, this means that Raspberry Pi 4 goes beyond a niche piece of tech to a piece of technology that could bring the internet and more to the masses with previously unseen affordability.

Delivery Unlimited is launching in select markets for $98 annually as a means for the brick and mortar retailer to compete with Instacart, Target Shipt and Amazon’s continually expanding Whole Foods efforts. Today’s announcement moves shoppers away from the per-order delivery fee commonly associated with Walmart grocery purchases in favor of the annual membership, which is also available at $12.95 per month. Either way, Walmart is moving to cash in on its expansive retail footprint, which is an area Amazon will be playing catch up with a for long time. Head below for more details and a free 15-day trial.
Anker, purveyors of all things power and portable, have finally come full circle by introducing a line of actual batteries in both AA and AAA sizes.

Sadly, Anker skipped going the rechargeable route which is a disappointment overall. That said, hopefully dipping their toes into the water here will ultimately deliver the goods that our green energy fanbase here at 9to5 can embrace. Head below for more, including a deal on both of Anker’s new AA and AAA batteries.

Walmart has announced a bold new initiative this morning that will bring grocery delivery from the retail giant to a whole new level.

There’s a lot of moving pieces here, but for the brave at heart, you’ll be able to have Walmart delivery your groceries straight to the fridge. Head below for more.
