“As the new owner of the above I must confess to being impressed by the look of the little computer but also very disappointed. Specifically one of the ports appears to be of a type I cannot use. Having purchased a micro USB 2, then a micro USB 3 cable, I found neither would fit. While the latest technology should belong in what is thought of as a compact little machine, the hardware should at the same time have sufficient information for the user. I have to date found no instructions telling me what type this port is, consequently I can't use the computer. Very frustrating.....”
“If you were to look inside some new 'high performance' laptops you would find a board of a similar size. For a very small outlay you'll have a complete computer that has the added bonus of dual HDMI outputs along with all the GPIO pins you are likely to need for your projects. 4 USB ports and ethernet connectivity make this a no brainer purchase. I went for the 4GB version in order to ensure that I have all the memory I am likely to need. I can highly recommend the Pi 4b+. It would be a good idea to get a GOOD case for it but then there's nothing stopping you from being a bit creative and making your own, if, of course you are into it.”
“With the fan and loading from a USB SSD, this is a desktop computer. Not the fastest, but easily usable.
It is a powerful tool for making as well as an adequate tool for everyday computing.”
