Here are the class recommended devices. The older Pi 4 needs to have at least 8GB of RAM to handle the programs especially if they continue all 3 years through to Java Programming. The Pi 5 can be either the 4GB or 8GB since the processor is faster on that model.

Option 3: The older Pi 4 8GB model is also an option if you currently have one. Currently the price is more expensive than the newer Pi 5 so we do recommend the Pi 5.
