“Everything works as expected. I have 2G memory. Raspbian runs out of the box nicely on 1,2 G memory. Nice to have some spare for applications.
First time possible to stream TV programs without a glitch.”
“Its fast and ts got two HDMI but, who has space on the bench for two monitors. Its got a 'C' type power socket which is incompatible with existing RPi's. its got two HDMI sockets, great for advertisment terminals but not much use for 'normal people' and the HDMI ports are incompatible with existing RPi's being of the micro connector type rather than the RPi's Zero's mini and the A,and B's normal connector - so far, damn expensive and difficult to locate. Its got up to 4gig memory. It will not, yet, boot to USB or Network or any of the useful booting features. In 4k video mode its not compatible with VNC. It won't fit in any existing case because the network and USB sockets have been moved, It gets bloody hot.
Would I buy another ?. Possibly, but for my money the incompatibilities outweigh the extra speed.
The extra memory is'nt such a great thing for the 'normal people' and the extra 3 gig for an extra £20, too expensive imho.”
“Nice to see the product moving with the times. Got the 4GB version. Only problem now is getting a suitable case for the pi4 but I'm sure those will come with time.”
“Under sustained load it suffers from cpu speed throttling. Search the raspberry pi forums and you’ll find multiple people reporting temperature issues.”
“Hi - I bought a new Pi including official Pi Case. In general everything is slightly better, however, it is very noticeable that my room is a lot warmer than usual because the Pi is so hot! Unfortunately the official Pi case does not contain a heat sink and we now have to wait for other cases to be produced.”
“The new pi runs great, but hot!!
This is not a criticism, as this level of performance was likely to have side effects.
Pi hut, please make a fan shim / hat available, my bolt on fan looks horrible!!
This will fit in the previous models case with minor modifications.”
