“All good. I use mine to get my collection of films, plus YouTube etc onto my TV via the HDMI connection. I recommend the latest version of the OS called Buster.”
“Cant fault pi hit whatsoever, great shop, speedy service, always been happy purchasing my pi stuff from here (I’m uk based)
Pi 4 is performing very nicely, obviously use Ethernet for full potential. Fast speeds, CPU is overclockable, and I got a rev1.2 board which fixes the USB-C issue I believe (rev1.2 often not advertised)
Nice amount of ram, Ubuntu running well on it, though a different desktop environment, other than gnome, may be more efficient on the hardware.
Ubuntu server (headless) or Raspbian will likely run even better.
I’m using it as test bed for web dev, among other things, and it’s running nodejs and mongodb very nicely, will be adding Vuejs to the stack to form essentially a MEVN stack, though may use fastify instead of Express!
Testing my backend REST Api, it was managing between 100/200 requests a second, (requests hitting nginx reverse proxy, nodejs event handling, and fetching from mongdb),
May be able to get better performance from it, as these were just initial tests.”
“This was ideal for my project and the selection from the Pi hut was very helpful. This and the power pack were delivered nice and quickly. I am very pleased”
“Fantastic device and amazing service! My pie failed after around 8 months and I contacted the support team just on the off chance that it might still be under warranty. It turned out it was, and I received a prepaid Royal Mail cover to return it for free, and after having confirmed the issue, they refunded the cost of the replacement I had already purchased. It was a better experience than I’ve had with Apple!”
“I really think the Raspberry PI is great. A lot of power in a small box.
I would say the mini as card holder is flimsy. I was been very gentle and it still broke off requiring some carefully placed glue.”
