#2If you live near a Micro Center, they always seem to have them in stock. They sell them in-store only.

#3I looked online the other day for an 8 GB Pi 4, and could not find any, including at Microcenter (which claims to show store availability). I also looked to see whether the Jetson Xavier AGX is available. This used to go for $700, but I didn't really need it then. Now that I could use it, it's selling for at least twice as much.

The one near me (St. Louis, MO) has been out of Pi 4 model B and CM4 since September. A couple CM3+ popped in stock for a few days but were gone shortly after.
Checking right now, they only have some Pi 400s and Pi 3 A+ in stock. Plus a boatload of accessories, power supplies, and cases.
At some point it might be worth figuring out a way to mash a Pi 400 into a Pi 4-size footprint.

#5Why all the obsession over the pi now all of a sudden? The pi4/400 has been out for a couple of years at this point. Yet they’re still out of stock?

Really? Every time I check (in the Chicago area), it's still out of stock. https://www.microcenter.com/product/609038/raspberry-pi-4-mo...

Mostly lack of new PIs being produced.
Semiconductors shortage becomes a pain in the ….

My understanding is not that demand has gone up, but that availability has gone down.

The 8gb pi4 has been OOS across the market for a few months, which leads me to believe that memory modules are the main bottleneck. The price increase of the Xavier (which come with 32 or 64gb memory onboard), seems to support this.

#10This is really nice - is there one like this for graphics cards too?
