“Very neat design. Only concern was the 5V supply and USB C power connector when the compute module 4 development board uses a higher voltage. Only issue I had was with bluetooth sound which has been fixed with software updates.
As a side point I was very frustrated that the pi 4 didn't go out of form factor and put all the connectors on one side of the board. I bought Argon One box and felt the additional board could have been integrated into the pi 4 giving more space and better heat management and features. We keep having to change connectors and power supplies, 3 so far. The extra cost would have been a lot cheaper than the expense of the Argon One.
I probably would have not bought the pi 400 if the pi 4 had been given a new form factor. In my mind it was a missed opportunity.”
“Incredible device, so neat and well designed. This is perfectly serviceable as a light use desktop computer and is possibly the best thin client computer around right now.
However, it's a real shame they didn't put the guts of the highest powered 8GB Pi4 inside of this rather than the 4GB. When they do that I will be first in line to upgrade!”
“WOW!
Next level Pi.
Fast, compact and pleasing configuration.
I've got about 9 Pi's of varying models for lots of projects and DMR/Fusion hotspots for amateur radio use.
My Wife now has one, loves the fact that if you muff up programming, you just re flash OS. We both are guilty of that, but if you don't crash it, you're not trying hard enough.

“What a cracking wee machine. I have it over clocked to 2GHz and running Ubuntu 20.10 with no issues at all. An absolute bargain. I prefer Ubuntu as it just finds my wireless printer and I don't have to use CUPs as you do when running Rasp OS.
I use it with a Philips Full HD monitor that I picked up new for £90 and the Xenta wireless mouse. If they could bring out an 8GB version I would make it my everyday machine.”
