Re: [LUG] Raspberry Pi v4

 

I thought that these were meant to be low spec.

Just in-case you've not heard:

https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/raspberry-pi-4-on-sale-now-from-35/


     A 1.5GHz quad-core 64-bit ARM Cortex-A72 CPU (~3× performance)
     1GB, 2GB, or 4GB of LPDDR4 SDRAM
     Full-throughput Gigabit Ethernet
     Dual-band 802.11ac wireless networking
     Bluetooth 5.0
     Two USB 3.0 and two USB 2.0 ports
     Dual monitor support, at resolutions up to 4K
     VideoCore VI graphics, supporting OpenGL ES 3.x
     4Kp60 hardware decode of HEVC video
     Complete compatibility with earlier Raspberry Pi products

etc.

The $35 price is for the 1GB version - more memory costs more...

I've had a 4GB one for some time now and if all you want is a little
desktop computer then this is almost all you'll need now.

No - it's not a heavyh duty gaming nor media edititing platform, but for
day to day desktop use - it's more or less there.

Debian buster too, (32-bit) but no-doubt the 64-bit OSs will catch up very
soon.

Cheers,
