“The pi 4 is clearly a significant upgrade over previous models, and offers a real alternative to running a desktop if all you do is internet browsing, emails etc.
The only issue I’ve noticed is it can run a bit hotter, but I have mine running in a fanned stack now and that has solved it.”
“The Raspberry Pi 4 Model B definitely runs faster than previous models but gets very hot when under load.
I am considering getting a heatsink and fan to keep it cool.”
“...I've no idea what I'm going to use it for yet, but am enjoying tinkering. Have run some intense benchmarks on the Pi and whilst the CPU gets hot, it's not affected the performance of the little beastie.”
