“This is the third one I've bought.
The Pi4 has gone beyond being a hobbyist curio, and is a fully functional computer in it's own right. We have laptops at work with worse specs than this.
It has some downsides though:
It gets hot. I heartily recommend a full body heatsink, such as https://thepihut.com/collections/raspberry-pi-cases/products/aluminium-armour-heatsink-case-for-raspberry-pi-4 or https://thepihut.com/collections/raspberry-pi-cases/products/argon-one-raspberry-pi-4-case
Other heatsinks/cases exist, but these are the ones I have direct experience of.
The video outputs are microHDMI, so you'll need to get cables/adapters. Notice the plural - you can run a dual screen setup.
There's also a quirk when using higher resolution monitors (I have a 2560x1440 monitor) in that it won't boot if my mouse and keyboard are plugged in at the same time. There may be some tweaks in the /boot/config.txt that would make it work, but as it is, I just plug in the mouse and keyboard after it's booted up.
The upsides though...
It's fast, it's powerful, it's flexible. I have friends who've ditched their work issued PC, and use one of these instead.
You won't regret getting one of these.”
“I have not yet used my raspberry pi 4 yet despite receiving it from The pi hut as I brought a low profile cooler from Amazon the delivery did not turn up and Amazon said I can't get a refund until 5th May 2020 yes Amazon said I can't get a refund until way past a month. So I need to wait for my money back then order another cooler”
“Great piece of Kit that has helped keep our business moving with remote working.
Can't fault the service and delivery speed from Pi Hut. We needed these to allow our staff to setup and work remotely due to the current global situation. We needed the equipment quickly and this is exactly what we got.
Superb!
We will be back to to use Pi Hut again without hesitation.”
