Mine arrived in the post today - everything I've tried and bothered to benchmark is 2-3x faster. Storage via usb and ethernet are way faster and seem to cause less load too.
Go on, you know you want to buy one....
You can actually use it as a media center now for your brand new TV
Edit: it's cheaper than the Chromecast Ultra, Ruku 4k and Fire stick's 4k varient!
Will pick one up in the US as soon as there's stock. They're a bit pricier in Euroland.
I live a relatively short train journey from Cambridge, where there's a dedicated Raspberry Pi store, and I've been meaning to go there when I have a week off work next month. Guess I have even more reason now!
Welp, it doesn't have HDMI out, so it's already cancelled.
2 Micro-HDMI outputs though at better output. Can solve with a cheap adapter from AliExpress/gearbest etc, although you will need to consider the small amount of space between the ports and go for one with flex cable rather than an all-in-one block.
Only downside is Micro HDMI is a little brittle at times
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA they made an RPi with more than 1GB of RAM!! 😁😁
Great review over at Tom's Hardware.
If anyone wants to invest in a fan with the heatsink, check out Microsoft's active cooling your RPi 3 to see how they have done it. It is utterly one of the most creative solution!
Yeah, who needs apples when you can have apple PIs (read: apple pies) :P
I bought a 3 just a week ago... It's hooked up to a monitor and only shows some websites with monitoring/uptime data.
When a Pi has better specs than your laptop...😢
It actually has better specs than my 11 years old (from 2007) Sony laptop.
But my laptop's battery life (10 minute) is much longer than RPi4's battery life (n/a).
The $55 version should be strong enough for some home automation tasks, yeah?
Even overkill IMO, the $35 model or the RPi 3 should be more than enough.
The old RPi3 has the resources for it, as well
Wow, this is pretty powerful. Out of curiosity, what are people using their raspberry pi's for?
I actually use one as a private GitLab runner for GitLab.com!
I've been thinking of setting up a home server for a while. Think this just cinched it.
Will the RPi4 survive a idiot connecting 5v to the 3.3v rail?
PS the RPi3b+ didn't.🤣
"Asking for a friend!"
Wish I was, it was not the first RPi death at my hands probably not the last either. 😂😂
I do need to grab a RPi4 anyway.
Yep, this is what I'm waiting for.
What are you going to build?
Because of it's resources I intend to replace my old test server based on Pi3. I hope to work much better with Ubuntu server and MySql because version 3 is a little slow. Basically I use it mostly for my Go projects.
Oooooh, there's an idea. I'm just getting into Go. You using it as a testbed for Go scripts?
Yes. In Go you can write pretty complex applications wich run very good on low resources hardware like Raspberry. A big advantage is that you can use Raspbian desktop and LiteIDE to write the apps directly on it (imagine that is very easy for IoT applications which use GPIO). This environment works well on the old Pi3 and I'm expect to work much better on Pi4.
