Every AI Device You Can’t Buy Right Now
Last verified: 2 September 2026. We re-check every status on this page and update the date above. If the date is more than two weeks old, treat the statuses as stale and email us.
Twenty-three products with real demand and no stock. Pre-orders, waitlists, and hardware that has been announced but never shipped.
We keep this page because nobody else does. Every entry says exactly where the product stands right now — and, where one exists, what you can actually buy today instead. We sell some of those alternatives, which we say plainly rather than pretending to be neutral.
The one thing driving all of it
Memory. DRAM spot prices rose roughly 700% over the past year as AI datacentres absorbed supply. That single fact explains every delayed GPU, every out-of-stock mini PC, and every Apple configuration that quietly disappeared.
Analysts do not expect real relief before 2028. We wrote about what that means if you are waiting to buy.
What the statuses mean
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| PRE-ORDER | Orderable, but not in stock — ships on a queue |
| NO ORDER PAGE | Announced or previewed only — you cannot pay for it |
| HELD BACK | Hardware exists; the vendor is withholding launch |
| BACKORDERED | Add-to-cart works, fulfilment is delayed |
| DISCONTINUED | No longer sold to new customers |
Local AI boxes
| Product | Status | What you can buy today |
|---|---|---|
| Framework Desktop Ryzen AI Max+ 395 · $3,449 / 128GB |
PRE-ORDER Direct from frame.work only |
Same Ryzen AI Max+ 395 chip, three ways to buy it today — no queue: MINISFORUM MS-S1 Max — from $2,469 (64GB — cheaper than Framework’s own list price) BOSGAME M5 — from $3,299.99 (96GB) Beelink GTR9 Pro — $4,349 (128GB — matches Framework’s own spec exactly) |
| Framework Desktop 192GB | NO ORDER PAGE Previewed July 2026, no price |
Nobody ships 192GB in this class yet — not even Framework. Closest available: Beelink GTR9 Pro, 128GB — $4,349, in stock while you wait for a spec sheet that may never come |
| NVIDIA RTX Spark laptops Asus, Dell, HP, Lenovo, Surface, MSI |
NO ORDER PAGE No pre-orders open; “this fall” |
Same GB10 Grace Blackwell silicon, desktop form, shipping now — pick a vendor: NVIDIA DGX Spark — from $4,699 ASUS Ascent GX10 — from $5,899 |
| Orange Pi AI Studio Pro 192GB, 352 TOPS · ~$2,200 |
NO WESTERN CHANNEL China / AliExpress resellers only |
Beelink GTi15 Ultra — from $1,499 |
| Tenstorrent TT-QuietBox 2 RISC-V, 128GB GDDR6 · from $9,999 |
WAITLIST Vendor-run waitlist page |
Lenovo ThinkStation PGX — from $5,849 |
| M5 Ultra Mac Studio 96GB–256GB configs |
NOW IN STOCK Update: we added the real thing |
Buy the actual Mac Studio M5 Ultra — from $5,499 96GB up to 256GB unified memory, ships now. If you wanted the Mac, get the Mac — no substitute needed here |
| M5 Ultra Mac Studio 512GB | NO ORDER PAGE Not shipping from Apple either — "coming late October," no price yet |
Nothing ships at 512GB unified memory in a Mac today, from us or from Apple. If your workload genuinely needs that much, the honest answer is to wait for Apple’s own October update. For everything under that, our 256GB M5 Ultra or the Beelink GTR9 Pro (128GB, $4,349) both ship today |
The Framework row is the one worth pausing on. Every Ryzen AI Max+ 395 configuration on frame.work is listed out of stock and sold as a pre-order, and Framework does not sell through retailers. Three machines on this page use the identical processor and ship today — one of them, the MINISFORUM MS-S1 Max, costs less than Framework’s own listed price for less memory than you get on ours. If you were waiting on a Framework Desktop, you are not waiting for better hardware to arrive. You are waiting in a queue for hardware that already exists, in a warehouse, right now, under a different badge.
Graphics cards
| Product | Status | What you can buy today |
|---|---|---|
| RTX 5070 SUPER 18GB RTX 5070 Ti SUPER 24GB RTX 5080 SUPER 24GB |
HELD BACK Reportedly finished. NVIDIA told partners to hold — 3GB GDDR7 modules cost 2–3× the 2GB parts. Leaks split between late 2026 and CES 2027 |
If the goal is local AI rather than gaming, unified memory beats VRAM you cannot buy — at every budget: MINISFORUM MS-S1 Max — from $2,469 GTi15 Ultra — from $1,499 GTR9 Pro, 128GB — $4,349 |
| AMD RDNA 5 | NO DATE Reportedly mid-to-late 2027 or later |
As above — this is not a “wait a few months” situation |
Robotics and edge
| Product | Status | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| NVIDIA Jetson T3000 / T2000 | Q1 2027 Announced 15 July 2026 |
T3000 ≈ 865 FP4 TFLOPS in about half the size and power of the T5000. The in-stock AGX Thor devkit ($3,499) is the interim answer |
| Reachy Mini · $299 / $449 | BATCH QUEUE | Approached $500,000 in pre-orders within 24 hours. Only 3,000 units shipped as of the CES 2026 update |
| HopeJR · ~$3,000 | NO SHIP DATE | Hugging Face + The Robot Studio open-source humanoid. Waitlist open, no confirmed date |
| 1X NEO | EARLY ACCESS $200 deposit · $20,000 · $499/mo |
US deliveries promised for 2026; none confirmed. International waitlisted to 2027 |
| Unitree G1 / R1 Neura 4NE1 Mini |
BACKORDERED | The G1 has a real add-to-cart button and is orderable, just delayed. R1 deliveries expected April 2026 |
Maker tier — priced out, not sold out
| Product | Status | What you can buy today |
|---|---|---|
| Raspberry Pi 5 16GB AI HAT+ 2 |
IN STOCK $120 in Nov 2025 → $205, then a further $100 hike. The HAT rose $50 |
Available — but do the maths before buying. Once you have added the HAT, storage and a power supply, a Beelink EQi Pro at $629 with 24GB and OpenClaw pre-installed is a different class of machine for local AI |
| Raspberry Pi 6 | NOT BEFORE 2028 Confirmed by Raspberry Pi’s CEO — and it will not include an NPU |
If you were holding out for the Pi 6 to do AI work, stop holding out |
Discontinued and dead
| Product | Status | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Limitless Pendant | DISCONTINUED Sales ended 5 December 2025 after the Meta acquisition |
Existing owners keep a support path. New buyers have no legitimate product page — be careful with third-party listings at inflated prices |
| Humane AI Pin | SERVERS OFFLINE Stopped connecting at noon Pacific, 28 February 2025 |
Cloud access, calling, messaging and AI queries all ended, and remaining server data was deleted. A Humane AI Pin sold today is a paperweight — do not buy one second-hand |
Why we maintain this
We sell mini PCs, AI desktops, NAS systems and docks. So yes, this page exists partly because people searching for hardware they cannot buy sometimes buy hardware they can.
But it only works if it is true. A stale “out of stock” claim costs us exactly as much credibility as a false “in stock” one, so we re-verify every row and date-stamp the page. Where there is no honest alternative to recommend, we say so and leave the column empty rather than pushing something that does not fit.
If a status here is wrong, tell us and we will fix it: support@computahardware.shop.
Want to know when something lands?
Email us at support@computahardware.shop with the product name and we will tell you when it becomes orderable. We will not pass your address to the manufacturer or anyone else — see our Privacy Policy.
Compiled from vendor pages and trade press. Prices exclude tax, tariffs and shipping, and several are changing monthly under memory-market pressure. Nothing here is purchasing advice — confirm every figure at source before acting on it.
