Currently back in stock. Showing $13 shipping for me. It's not on sale, but they are out of stock almost all the time.

Or (different link that seems to show the same page in the UI store):

I got one the last time it was available (very briefly!) and it arrived last night. I'm very impressed with the unit. It's a huge upgrade from my USG-3P.

For those not familiar this is a newly released, small form factor firewall. It's like the USG-3P but much faster (gig-rate with all features enabled like IDS/IDP). It does not have a WiFi access point like the Dream Machine. It DOES have a built in controller (like the Cloud Key), so that's very handy.
If you purchase something through a post on our site, Slickdeals may get a small share of the sale.

How does this compare to the UDM-base? Minus the built in AP of course

Quote from ElatedPenguin1295 :
Whats the usecase for this?
It makes an excellent 1) firewall and 2) web-based managed controller for a home or small business. Can do line rate Gigabit Ethernet speeds with all protections turned on. It's most powerful if you also have Ubiquiti Unifi Access Points and PoE Switches to make a whole "system." Such a setup is way more powerful (and less expensive) than these crazy individual access points people buy for $200-300 each... with the Unfi setup, you can have many different VLANs and WLANs (wireless LANs) to separate out different types of traffic. For example, I have my home set up with at least four different VLANs and WLANs:

1) Main LAN where your laptops, PCs, phones, tablets, etc. go
2) IoT & "smart" devices that you want to reach the Internet
3) IoT & "smart" devices that you do NOT what to reach the Internet
4) Guests

That way if something "bad" happens in one VLAN/WLAN, there is a fair amount of protection & separation from the others (especially the "main LAN" where your more sensitive data is).

And, most of all, you can control where each of those VLANs/WLANs go... but by default they go everywhere... so if you need to have 2-4+ access points to get good coverage in your home, you can walk around and stay connected seamlessly. (And keep in mind that you really want to have a 5 GHz connection all the time vs. dropping down to 2.4 GHz... but 5 GHz does not travel as far and is more easily blocked by walls and such... so you usually need more Access Points than you would think.)

For $129 the UCG-Ultra is a very impressive device (at least in my opinion).

Careful it's a gateway drug. Started small now running Dream Machine Pro SE, Pro Max 24, USW-24-POE and lots of the awesome little $29 five port managed switches. Ordered 6 cameras yesterday to replace the mix match batch of cams I have now

I have the original Dream Machine that looks like a white pill. What does getting this allow me to do that I couldn't do before?

Is this the same as the Unifi Express minus the built in WiFi?

I was looking at this but leaning toward the gateway max for more 2.5G ports. Already have a docker env the console can run on and don't have that many wired devices. The gw max could replace an old usg4 pro and a mini switch in my stack.

This has a switch on the back and Sus Activity (aka IDS / IPS) that the Unifi Express does not have. UniFi Express does not have the processing power for Sus Activity while hosting UniFi network and having WiFi 6
