I'm getting close to my 4gb RPI 4b's mem limit ~80% and would like to migrate from it to a low power SFF thin client. What are some good options?

  1. I'd lean towards x86 with ARM being a close second.
  2. Energy use isn’t much of an issue for me, I just don’t want to run something needlessly power hungry to run HASS. Passive cooling works, fan fine as well.
  3. No need for anything beyond HASS. I have an Unraid server that I host all of my other stuff on, but keep that tucked away as it's quite large.
  4. I'd like to cap out around $150-225

Just looking to upgrade, and as raspberry pi's are hard to come by these days (what happened to them being more available in 2023 btw) I'm leaning towards something more SFF.

If you haven’t looked at Raspberry Pi’s recently, you might want to check. If they fit your need, they are finally starting to become available again
