“I needed an economical replacement for an old Pi B+ that was running out of oomph for the application I was using it for. A 1Gb Pi 4b fills the bill nicely at a very reasonable price. ... and it really is a **lot** faster! :-)”
“Although only the 1GB variant is not ideal for complex computing projects, these are good (i.e. cheap) replacements for RPi1 which are (in my case) becoming unreliable. The recent PiOS issues overwhelm RPi1's so the RPi4s 64 bit, quad CPU architecture and higher throughput resolves that problem.”
“Totally as my expectation and perfectly work. Now my Raspberry Pi is working as a central computer for my fish tank, controlling the water temperature, turning on and off the LED light, and sending online warning if some issues are detected.
But if you would like to run Raspberry Pi OS Bookworm on Raspberry Pi 4, you might be surprised because you cannot find a VNC icon on menu bar even after you turned VNC on via configuration. It doesn't result from your Raspberry Pi's failure but from the change of OS specification. If you would like to use VNC in Raspberry Pi OS Bookworm on Raspberry Pi 4, follow below.
