But, beyond the short term, what do you reckon of the availability over the last 5 years?
- geerlingguy 5y agoOver the last 5 years, availability was often spotty for the quarter or two post-launch, but stock always caught up. In fact, I remember in late 2020, the Micro Center near me had an end cap with over 100 Pi Zero W's hanging on it, a bunch of Pi 3 B+s below, about 30 Pi 4 model B's in a case (you had to ask for them), and about 25 CM3+'s on a shelf. Those were heady times; the pandemic (demand for hobby computers spiking) then the parts shortage were a 1-2 punch and now it seems only the Pi 400 can be reliably found in stock, along with some expensive kits that bundle a ton of things with the Pi 3 B+ or Pi 4.
