“It's not really that RPI4 8GB is bad, but 64-bit OS for RPI seems to still be in early stages (for those who want to use it) and so for me it was difficult to find relevant information when I encountered problems. So it would be important to know that 8GB is not the same as RPI4 4GB but with just more RAM if you want to utilise 64-bit.”
“I love everything about the RPi, it’s such a great computer. I purchased one of the earliest versions for the kids and back then all they did was play mine craft. Now they are older & on lockdown it is the essential tool used for all their school work, research and so much more. Powerful, robust, tiny and now an absolute essential daily tool used by the family.”
“I have 5 of these now and have used it to setup a kubernetes cluster. This would have been too expensive if it were not for the pi, and it goes like the clappers. The pi are now starting to be a real substitute for low end servers and have let me build a small data centre in my house.”
“Everything worked out-of-the-box. We are scientific and engineering users. Usually it takes a few hours to set up a Linux machine, a day for Windows, and two or three days for a Mac. The pi was fully configured and working in about an hour. Nothing has ever been as easy. It has no keyboard or screen and is controlled through the network by VNC.”
