I am waiting for AMD based "NUC", because I don't want to give money to Intel. The reason I want a AMD based computer is to run vanilla Debian on it. Vanilla debian does not run on Raspberry unfortunately. Currently I'm running Odroid XU4, but I need more ram and horsepower.

I'm keeping an eye out for 4800u based NUC.

Have you seen the Asus PN50? https://www.asus.com/Mini-PCs/Mini-PC-PN50/ https://www.asus.com/Mini-PCs/Mini-PC-PN50/

  It has Intel Wi-Fi...

    That's a shame. Looks like it's an M.2 module, so you could replace it I suppose.

  The second image on that page is hilariously wrong on scale. The USB port is about as wide as the caps lock key on the keyboard. They're supposed to be touting the small size of the unit and actually made it look bigger. Is it really that hard to just put the thing on a desk and take a real picture of it?

How about https://shop.udoo.org/products/bolt.html https://shop.udoo.org/products/bolt.html? You can also look at https://www.amd.com/en/products/embedded-minipc-solutions https://www.amd.com/en/products/embedded-minipc-solutions.

Maybe not exactly what you are looking for, because larger and more expensive than most systems in this context, but it comes with anything one needs, with the exception of CPU, RAM and storage. https://www.asrock.com/nettop/AMD/DeskMini%20A300%20Series/ https://www.asrock.com/nettop/AMD/DeskMini%20A300%20Series/

  Yes, love mine. Fits two NVMe drives plus two 2.5” drives in its tiny frame.

  I keep almost buying one but never quite get there. An updated version is around the corner and although it will support the new 4000 series APUs (when they become generally available), it's otherwise underwhelming compared to the updated Intel model. https://liliputing.com/2020/08/asrocks-new-deskmini-pcs-support-amd-renoir-or-intel-comet-lake-chips.html https://liliputing.com/2020/08/asrocks-new-deskmini-pcs-supp...

There's ThinkCentre m715q and HP ProDesk 405 g4 for that.

As another one, there's minisforum on Indiegogo. Still $500 bucks though. Pretty decent specs Ryzen5 and Vega 8 with dual ethernet ports. https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/the-next-gen-minis-amd-yes#/ https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/the-next-gen-minis-amd-ye...

There's plenty of offerings available in pretty much the NUC form factor - maybe check out these lists (esp. if you're based in Europe): https://geizhals.eu/?cat=sysdiv&xf=450_Nettop~6764_AMD&asuch=&bpmin=&bpmax=&v=e&hloc=at&hloc=de&hloc=pl&hloc=uk&hloc=eu&plz=&dist=&mail=&sort=p&bl1_id=30 https://geizhals.eu/?cat=sysdiv&xf=450_Nettop~6764_AMD&asuch... https://geizhals.eu/?cat=barepc&xf=2508_AMD%7E4249_Nettop https://geizhals.eu/?cat=barepc&xf=2508_AMD%7E4249_Nettop

Looks like Linus Tech Tips just posted an unboxing of one this morning.
