“The HDMI-1 output connector does not work on my unit. the HDMI-0 works fine. I could not arrive at an acceptable expeditious exchange arrangement with The PiHut as this unit is currently out of stock in the UK and costs about $15 more in the US, before international shipping, than local resellers - $55 (who are also out of stock) to repurchase -- but crippled is better than failed. I'm only out less than $100 USD and will be looking for generation 2 for fixes.
Make certain to purchase the official RPi power supply and microHDMI cables, others are reported as problematic due to standards non-compliance.
This is a great product, but not ready for Prime Time. Hopefully, as the supplies become available there will be a commensurate increase in quality. Even Apple Computer had several 'dud' products and went through a poor quality period.
I'm just disappointed, but still believe in the Raspberry Pi Foundation's mission. This is just a stumble, not a fall. They do so many good things for learning technologies - world wide.”
“I have three 4 gb Pi 4s. The micro hdmi outputs are already dead on two of the Pi’s..Despite fans, proper ventilation, cable and monitor switching and rebooting, my multi meter confirms no signal from either hdmi port.
I’m waiting for a fix or will dispute the credit card charges. Very surprised and unhappy.”
“The product speaks for itself, this review is about Pi Hut. I've ordered several things from Pi Hut in the past & have never had a problem & this experience was no different! I ordered the Raspberry Pi 4 B 4GB on the afternoon of July 4th (I'm in the USA), I chose DHL shipping & I had it in my hand from the UK to the US by the July 8th! Now that's service!”
“I have regularly used many of the previous Pi models. They have all impressed me. This Pi has by far the most immediately obvious jump in its performance.
For all of the tasks I have thrown at it so far, the Pi4 has been up to the challenge.
This Pi, my Pi, is a 4GB model. It is also over-clocked and it is also cooled with a fan. I would recommend using some kind of cooling solution no matter what you do.
The over-clocking is in order to in future test out its new and improved OpenGL support; and to allow code compilations to finish super fast. In simple stress tests of games and compilations, it was about as fast as my (ageing) TV 'media center' PC.
WOW!”
