“Had the 4g Pi 4 for about a month and it makes a fine, neat, descrete, speedy media player which was it's intended use. The case could have done with an assembly diagram - but hey ho - can't have everything”
“I gave this as a Christmas gift to my husband, and this is his review:
This is the best Pi yet:
Pros:
> The fastest Pi yet (3x the performance of the Pi 3 B+)
> With 4GB RAM there are no issues with multitasking multiple apps
> USB 3.0 ports so the Pi 4 can now make full use of high speed external storage
> Full 1Gb Ethernet (no longer provided through the USB bus)
> Can finally view full screen YouTube videos in 1080p without too many issues (still some screen tearing and dropped frames but definitely watchable)
Cons:
> The hottest Pi yet so it needs proper cooling or the CPU will throttle very quickly under load - I prefer passive cooling and have used both the Flirc and Argon Neo cases with no throttling even under sustained full load (small heat sinks are a waste of time unless combined with a fan)
> The performance of the on-board WiFi would be much improved if it were possible to attach separate antennas (as is possible with several other SBCs)”
