“Great upgrade, although personally I’m not sure about micro hdmi and you’ll have no doubt read they have taken shortcuts with the usbc power in. To me the main concern is that under any load it gets too hot for the cpus to run full speed - you need a case fan. Given this and the costs of a new psu and hdmi cables it’s not quite the drop in replacement you may be hoping for. None the less the 4g RAM available now is very handy and hopefully further firmware upgrades may help with the heat.”

“So far so good, excluding the power supply problems witch you won't have any problems if you get the official power supply and the high temperature it runs at, which will have a solution whene the heatsink cases and coolers come out. It's a great little bord so munch better that the previous models, The 4gb ram model is quite good for office work, browsing, Youtube, Twitch, Netflix, etc.”

“Powerful enough to stream full HD videos using the default browser Chromium. Less one star as it was running a little hotter even with low usage. Would do better if there is a official casing with a built in fan.”

“(Purchased 4GB version) This is a significant upgrade to the Raspberry Pi and performance is really impressive. Not sure about the need for two HDMI ports but as I only use the Pi headless i'll pass on judgement. It will be an impressive NAS / webserver when the firmware is updated to allow booting from USB like the previous Pis can. The only issue so far is the heat. This device gets very hot very quickly. I also purchased a Raspberry Pi4 heatsink (large) and I would suggest anyone buying a Pi4 does the same as it takes quite a few degrees off the CPU. Even so, if the Pi4 has been given a bit of a workout the heatsink can get almost too hot to touch, so be careful. When the new cases are available I can see there could be over-heating and throttling problems, as without any airflow through the new case I can envisage the heat build-up to be too much even with a large heatsink. Unless you need the extra RAM, faster read / write speeds or true gigabit ethernet the Pi3B+ is still a good buy however the Pi 4B is a seriously good piece of kit for the price.”

“I use it for media streamer, for a Linux learning machine and for an office productivity tool. It is slow and it is running hot at times so I had to buy a case with a fan. Otherwise it does the job and it does it well.”
