Depending on the purpose, for example if somebody just wants a compact home cloud, the Odroid HC2 could also - still - be considered: https://www.hardkernel.com/shop/odroid-hc2-home-cloud-two/

- Half the RAM but double the cores. I'm waiting for some benchmarks to see if the RPi4 is faster and by how much.

- Also Gigabit Ethernet and it works great. My downloads are always at 108-111MB/s for the whole transfer.

- Not USB 3.0 but has "oldschool" SATA through an internal USB-2-SATA adapter. It's at least more compact, otherwise the RPi4 with an external USB 3.0 drive will probably work even better.

- works with a normal 12V power supply, which could be lying around already, from older external drives.

Not to disrespect the RPi4, as I'll be getting one of them too very soon.
