The Pi 4 is much better in every way than the models that came before. USB and ethernet are now connected to the SoC by a PCI Express link and can realise much faster speeds, full USB3 and full Gigabit. I/O on the SD card seems very much faster too and storage intensive activities like upgrading all the Raspbian packages seem 10x faster. All in all, a much more responsive little system especially if its being used as a desktop. The SoC runs a little on the warm side. With a small passive heatsink on mine but otherwise uncovered, it idles at ~50℃. If I put it inside an official case, it idles at ~70℃. Loading all four cores pushes it up above 80℃ at which point throttling kicks in. If you want to push one of these hard, you'll need more substantial cooling.

Unusually, the RPI was DOA. PI Hut support was excellent, with a fast turnaround no-quibble replacement which is fine. Good work PI Hut!.

Best board so far. Straight forward set up no problems that other users reported, it will run hot if no cooling used but put into geekpi case with open sides fitted heat sinks and fan run stress tests and temps are 51% and 41% in idle. Used as plex server mainly which installed no problems.

We ordered two items one for me and one for the company (the company ordered it though) and it had some serious heat issues where just basic operation was pushing it past 75 degrees. Other than that, we use it to power some monitoring systems in our company and I use mine for robotics programming.
