They've been on the shelf (well, behind the counter) at Micro Center for a month or so now, never seen them out of stock. It seems like all the models are available at one or two retailers at minimum now, via rpilocator.com.

Are you in the US, Canada, or EU? Outside of those places, there may still be some delays in getting stock to meet demand.

Oof, $80 is encroaching on Aliexpress N100 Mini PCs and used "Tiny/Mini/Micro" territory.

I have the original and updated Pi Zero W-- unbelievable bargains at ~$15 but if I needed any horsepower I think I'd rather have an x86_64 so I can run whatever.

Idle consumption made me lean toward a rk3588 vs a n100. Half the single thread performance though. Supported by dietpi, so no issue with the os.

I ordered one from pishop.us just last Friday that arrived via USPS on Monday morning. Might look around some and see if you can just order from a different vendor.

For the time it took them to develop it, the performance is really lackluster. I would've definitely wanted an OrangePi 5 equivalent performance, but with the mature software of the RPI.

Yeah, I ordered from Sparkfun. I've had good experiences with them in the past, but it's a little frustrating seeing it available elsewhere. I ended up reaching out about it.
