“Been using mine since yesterday and it works brilliantly. Is now a replacement for my ageing AMD based tower system, it leaves this older box standing. Well done to the them they have done it again. Buy one and don't look back worth every penny, I have the 4GB one so it can multitask well.”
“Mine arrived overnight delivery on Tuesday. I thought that I had a micro-HDMI cable but it will arrive tomorrow. That didn't stop me as I enabled SSH for headless setup and loaded all of my common shell files utilities and fave programs. I attached a miniature 5V fan from PiHut and it drops the temp 15C when running sysbench and multiple instances of yes xyz. Boots very quickly.
I almost forget that I run a Pi2 with Flightaware, a Pi3 with Flightradar24 and a PiZeroW as a cat-detector using an RCWL-0516 motion detector which emails me when my neighbour's cat sneaks in my window for a meal. They all run 24/7 and never fail. These little computers are the best thing that I have ever used since I built my first computer (binary counter) in 1965.”
“Drat! When I read it was Micro HDMI I assumed it was the same as the Pi Zero - so I didn't order a cable. But it's not, the Zero is Mini!
So now I can't play with my new toy until I get an HDMI-to-HDMI Micro cable :-( Not sure if there's room next to the USB-C to put an HDMI adaptor in there instead of getting a cable.
Must read more carefully next time... (Can only give it 3 stars as I haven't actually been able to use it yet)”
“I have a Pi3B+ and find it a great device. I have just unpacked the Pi4B with 2Gb ram - not powered it up yet but I have absolutely no reason to disbelieve all the reports I have read with respect to its advanced specs and performance. My personal likes: the new USBc universal power socket - no more faffing about getting it the right way round! Micro HDMI ports (two) make for much neater cabling - 4K performance YES! My monitor is 4K and so are two of my laptops. 4K of ram - YES again - these days memory capacity is essential - the more the merrier. It is almost impossible to believe such a physically small package can be a powerhouse and perform as a desktop when the appropriate peripherals are attached – I have a USB3 hub with several 1Tb HDDs & a 512Gb ssd available.”
“Picked one up in Cambridge this morning, and had to re-read the specs again because it looks a lot like a "Raspberry Pi" is supposed to look like, but it packs a massive amount of upgrades in almost identical clothes. Two HDMI ports, Jesus Christ. At first I thought there may be some variations, but it's proper dual-display HDMI power. 4k! I mean... USB C power is a great addition. I'm sure people will find reasons to complain about it, but I for one definitely welcome USB C and already upgraded a lot of things and cables to it. So that worked even without the power supply. Didn't work with the Apple USB C Macbook cable, not sure why. But worked with another one immediately. Bluetooth mouse setup is a bit shaky, not sure if there's going to be software updates needed or my mouse just acting up. Other than that, very impressive device and I can't wait to see what people do with it.”
