I've been using the Pi 4 as a music streamer with Volumio O/S for about a month, replacing a Pi 3b.
It's not quite as stable as the older Raspberry Pi but I'm putting this down to Volumio as it's a WIP for the Pi 4.
It does run hot so a decent case with good passive cooling or fan is a necessity. I'm using the Argon Pi 4 case (not the Neo) impo from the USA and it's superb at keeping the temperature down.
It's amazing how much computer the Raspberry Pi 4 is for such a small outlay. I've been using the Pi 4 as a music streamer with Volumio O/S for about a month, replacing a Pi 3b.

This enclosure fits perfectly on the Raspberry Pi 4 and appears to be quite strong even though it's plastic. This enclosure fits perfectly on the Raspberry Pi 4 and appears to be quite strong even though it's plastic.

Have used Raspberry pi's for a number of year for various different projects. This pi has not only quadruple the ram but the specs enable it to run computer vision at 60fps and handle running a neural network in real-time. The dual 4K HDMI ports are also a plus as it makes development and general use much easier. This Pi is the first Pi worthy to almost replace a laptop.

Highly recommend - works best with USB-C SSD drive and heatsink on CPU. Highly recommend - works best with USB-C SSD drive and heatsink on CPU.

Simple plug and play power supply. Works great and gives the 3A needed for the Pi Simple plug and play power supply. Works great and gives the 3A needed for the Pi

This is an excellent case for a Raspberry Pi 4. I am using my pi with my TV and this black case allows it to blend in really well. It also fits everything very nicely. Very convenient.

Using some old RPi-1's for home automation, got sick of it taking 2 minutes to compile each iteration of my C++ application,
bought the RPi-4 - simpler to setup than setting up a cross-compiling environment from the PC.
Blown away by compiles now taking 5 seconds... I can write, compile, debug, loop, and when all good do the final compile on the RPI1 - Once.

Comparing 4 GB Ram, Quad core @ twice the Cpu speed with the old 0.5 GB single core, it makes sense, but was still a pleasant surprise.

Only downside is that I run it headless via SSH, and the Wifi only works when there is a physical network cable/connection, so cannot bootup s...view more Using some old RPi-1's for home automation, got sick of it taking 2 minutes to compile each iteration of my C++ application,

I'm guessing there will be a s/w update for that...

Good price for a 3A supply. Good price for a 3A supply.

Working as expected. Appreciated the advice of P B Tech staff. Working as expected. Appreciated the advice of P B Tech staff.

Excellent for getting started in Linux

I have one of these as a plex server and another running PiHole for DNS security Excellent for getting started in Linux
