Yeah now it's just a matter of time till someone makes a dock for it that isn't 1 square mile in area: https://www.raspberrypi.com/products/compute-module-4-io-board/ https://www.raspberrypi.com/products/compute-module-4-io-boa....

  There are probably close to a hundred different boards already. Here is a somewhat complete list: https://pipci.jeffgeerling.com/boards_cm https://pipci.jeffgeerling.com/boards_cm

  Like this? https://www.cnx-software.com/2021/08/10/mincab-smallest-raspberry-pi-cm4-carrier-board/ https://www.cnx-software.com/2021/08/10/mincab-smallest-rasp... That's pretty small! But the point of the CM carrier boards is that they're completely dependent on what IO an individual user wants. For some, that's dual Ethernet; others have no idea why you would want more than one Ethernet port. Still others don't know why you would want any RJ45 at all: they don't have Ethernet throughout their house except between the modem and the router (if those are separate devices!). They'll just plug a Wifi dongle into the USB hub. As a carrier board designer, you've got to ask this question for everything from ADCs to Z-Wave wireless. The Raspberry Pi carrier board just included all the defaults provided by the connector, with minimal external components. Also, they did it with a 4-layer board and open-sourced the Kicad design files; if you want a subset of it you can make it!

  I too would like either a "normal" Pi with onboard storage or a (readily available, small, useful) carrier board. Either of these things is not 100% there right now :)

Yeah it would just be nice to buy a single piece of hardware that had it baked in.
