Been looking for RPI4 CMs for ages now and they've been sold out for as long as I can remember. Same with full size RPI4s and some Odroids. Is this just the new normal or are SBCs and CMs going to show up on the market again at some point?

These days you can find some kinda NUCS which are way more powerful and customisable for not a lot more than a fully fledged RPI4 with SD card and PSU

At least until the NUCs run out, now that Intel's discontinuing them

There's a lot of used mini PCs from Dell, HP, Lenovo that go for cheap on ebay. Those are a good alternative.

These are my go to. I think between rasp pi and the likes of those, Intel nucs and these, these are the best option by far

That's why I added the "kinda". There are a lot of small AMD boxes that can do a lot with those Ryzen.

Those small AMD boxes are great. I set up 3 MSI ones as Kodi/LibreELEC media boxes and they work very well, stay cool and quiet while having plenty of horsepower for 4k.
