Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

The pi switch seems to provide plenty of power (no annoying lightning bolts in the upper right hand corner) my only real complaint is the ambiguity of where the heat sinks go, but again, do your research. I particularly like the power button they add ... Read More

Pi-hole adware-dns server for my home network. I use this combination for relatively simple computing, that is audio and video playback and word processing. Change password by entering passwd in command line.

This ba piece of technology is a champ! It works flawless and have already bought two more. Everything works as hoped for, not the slightest problem.

Items can be ordered piecemeal on amazon with this canakit. A versatile and powerful machine. Not too mention, they are affordable and don't use much electric.

The 8gb model is the raspberry pi foundation really trying to broaden appeal for their sbc lineup. The 32gb msd card & below will be referenced as an sdhc. Gb &amp.

Cons

There appears to be a serious bluetooth hardware issue. Bluetooth hardware seems to receive ok, but has issues confirming the pairing. Power cord is faulty. Doesn't read cards anymore.

Quality

The quality of the pi switch is very good and it's so convenient to have a switch.

Combined with the argon one case for an excellent setup.

I didn't use the heat sinks that came with it, instead, i used the one that came with the case.

If you are going to do more with the device, you might consider spending extra to get more ram.

Shipping

Usb boot from an ssd makes the experience fast and worry free.

Packaging/appearance

Past that, i love all that i can customize with it and control through the gpio.

Im amazed the amount of things you can’t do with a pi4 right out of the box that’s listed as working out of the box.

Competitiveness

All of this is higher performing and more costly than typical predecessor products but that is okay as i intend these to be use... Read More

Pretty responsive compared to previous pis i own.

Mine came with a canakit on/off switch instead of the hdmi cable.

It works so slick that i bought one to replace my wife's laptop computer.
