“Bought this for my brother for his 18th birthday it was exactly what he wanted and arrived very quickly despite delivery being to a remote part of Scotland!”
“Great piece of kit I highly reccomend getting one, even for just learning how to control a computer remotely or setting up a small webserver, now that I've bought one I can realise the flexibilty of the Pi and am anticipating using mine A LOT in the coming years.”
“This opens up so many possibilities. My first adventure is to create a PiCore player to stream and receive music from all over the house and internet radio.
I can trust the 4 because I know the Pi hut will test the supplies before selling.”
“So far so good. Set up as a general purpose surver hosting a load of services (PiHole/DHCP, InfluxDB, SteamLink, Grafana), none needed any particularly powerful hardware but having the onboard ethernet is a nice option over the WiFi. I was surprised how warm the unit runs even under light load, or even just idling. Never seen it below 40 deg. C even when fitted into the Aluminium Armour heatsink/case.
Overall a very capable little computer.”
“Bought this to create a NAS with backup, which it does a great job of. SSD boot should help with reliability and I'm also using it as a web server for testing. One thing that did catch me out is that the USB ports don't have the power to run the two external hard drives I have so I had to buy a powered USB hub but I can't mark it down because that was just a lack of research on my part.”
