“This is a step up in every respect, with the one caveat that the USB-C charging port is non-standard, so there’s a good chance that if you have other USB-C chargers, it won’t work with those. The RPi one works great though. I’d give 5 stars if it wasn’t for the PSU issue.”

“I recently purchase a PI 4 with 1GB ram and am new to the Raspberry. What made me make the leap was the claim it performed to x86 standards. I would partly agree but it specifically is similar to a Pentium 486 although any PC can be improved. However, the Raspberry is a wonderfully contained PC and has so far functioned brilliantly as my Media Centre. It plays all videos adequately and the browser quickly loads my two start-up pages. The only minor things to be aware of is heat sinks are not enough and the Raspberry PI 4 DOES require a fan for additional cooling. Other than the minor cooling issue I fully recommend the Raspberry PI 4 and confirm it as a very capable computer.”

“Paid extra for next day delivery but didn’t arrive. Wasted whole day waiting for dhl. Pihut only refunded difference between next day and standard delivery. Rubbish pihut and dhl.”

“The Pi 4 is a remarkable evolution of the Raspberry Pi. Feels much faster than earlier models, most people could use it as a desktop PC. Don't worry about the much hyped USB C issue, the only chargers / cables that don't work are expensive ones!”

“This version of the RPi is very noticeably faster than the RPi 3B+. Using the graphical user interface is now much more pleasant. It also has USB 3.0 connectivity, which allows high-speed external devices, such as a HDD, to be connected. The down side is that the board layout has change enough to require a new type of case, new HDMI cable and new power supply with a higher rating and a USB-C connector. The board runs very hot and a cooling fan is really a necessity. Having said that, there are cases that suit the new layout and include a fan and now I have one, the Pi runs beautifully. The good news is that GPIO pins are still the same as are the camera and display connectors. A welcome improvement to the Raspberry Pi range.”

“When something gets successful, and problems get highlighted to the nth degree. Just to remind everyone this is a computer on a chip. With Gigabit network and two high quality (4K UHDMI) video feeds 4GB of ram and faster I/O. The I/O performance on the older RPis have always been "an issue" where some are concerned, but this version hits the mark spot on. For historical comparison, I have been recently decommissioning Sun Ultra 80 machines (High end graphics workstation the size of a LARGE computer tower sold between 1999 and 2002) this week - 4GB RAM, 4 CPU 450Mhz, Gigabit network (optional) - when new, add zeros to the price tag and the RPi's whole machine is smaller than ONE of the CPU boards inside the machine. Add the option of a 256Gb micro SD card, and the RPi has more storage, performance, video (even if the two monitors do run slower - 30HZ vs 60HZ if only one HDMI connected at 4K resolution and games don't run as smooth, so I am told). I also have the recommended power supply (which turns out to be a good idea), as the "suggested" circuit for USB-C turns out to be "mandatory" - so no you can't use your power supply from your USB-C powered laptop (until a revision is released - eventually). My only problem has been with the official 7" display - getting power - the short USB power cable is no longer suitable and the enclosed case needs to be updated ( at least the rear cover that aligns with the ports ), but I am sure they are being worked on as I write. I am very happy paying £54 for a machine that 20 years ago would have been £5000.”
