Davit2005 Posted June 24, 2019 Posted June 24, 2019 Good timimg, I'm contemplating setup of a OpenVPN server at home for remote access based on a Pi. Already have 2, one running Home Assistant and another running Kali.
MrEprise Posted June 24, 2019 Posted June 24, 2019 Looks like the 4GB models are selling out quickly. I was seconds away from clicking submit for one on The Pi Hut when it suddenly flashes up with an Out of Stock message. Ooooh so annoyed.
MrEprise Posted June 24, 2019 Posted June 24, 2019 (edited) I bet by the time I've set an account up they'll have been snapped up though. We'll see. EDIT: Okay, I take it back. I managed to get one just fine. Edited June 24, 2019 by MrEprise
Arthur Posted June 24, 2019 Author Posted June 24, 2019 Okay, I take it back. I managed to get one just fine. I think the only reason Pimoroni still has stock is due to their 1 per customer limit. I managed to get one earlier too. 1
Knil92 Posted June 24, 2019 Posted June 24, 2019 So do you reckon this one will be better for emulators?
synaesthesia Posted June 24, 2019 Posted June 24, 2019 Quite naturally it will be yeah. Very impressed with these specs; may buy one to see if, with it's hardware native h.265 encoding, it could replace my core i5 laptop as my cctv server.
Arthur Posted June 24, 2019 Author Posted June 24, 2019 4GB out of stock now on all 3 I think the Raspberry Pi Foundation underestimated the demand. Raspberry Pi 4: This thing is a PC, says board's creator Eben Upton How many Raspberry Pi 4 boards will be available at launch? We'll try to build 100,000 units to 200,000 units before launch.
Jawloms Posted June 24, 2019 Posted June 24, 2019 I think the Raspberry Pi Foundation underestimated the demand. So did NASA! https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-48743043
Knil92 Posted June 24, 2019 Posted June 24, 2019 So did NASA! https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-48743043 I've seen this and it made me laugh XD
jthompson Posted June 24, 2019 Posted June 24, 2019 We currently use RPis to stream a matrix of live CCTV feeds on TV screens at our reception desks. Mounted in dinky VESA cases and powered by the TV's USB port. The model we're using can only manage three concurrent feeds, so this new model might be decent upgrade if it has the grunt to provide more.
supportman Posted June 24, 2019 Posted June 24, 2019 Strange they built more of the 2gb model than the 4gb. The flagship was always going to be more in demand.

Mounted in dinky VESA cases and powered by the TV's USB port. The model we're using can only manage three concurrent feeds, so this new model might be decent upgrade if it has the grunt to provide more. This is exactly what we do at the moment too - we have 4 feeds going to a screen from unifi CCTV cameras. Think its a 3B+ we're running.
DrCheese Posted June 24, 2019 Posted June 24, 2019 Grabbed a 4gb model before 8am I only really use a pi 2 for my unifi controller/pihole at home and a pi 3 for retropie... be interesting to see how good this is as a TV desktop/web browser.... else it'll be bumped up to a retropie
flyinghaggis Posted June 24, 2019 Posted June 24, 2019 I had a previous generation one but I haven't really used it much as I found the performance kind of poor. The upgraded CPU and 4Gb RAM should make this a far more usable device when running browsers/apps/etc though.
Steve21 Posted June 26, 2019 Posted June 26, 2019 Pimoroni seems to have more stock of the 4GB if anyones interested Steve
Davit2005 Posted June 26, 2019 Posted June 26, 2019 My 2GB version got delivered today, should be fine for what I need it for but for the extra £10-12 maybe I should of waited.
Arthur Posted June 26, 2019 Author Posted June 26, 2019 My 4GB Raspberry Pi 4 was delivered yesterday, but I forgot to order a case and now they are out of stock. https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/raspberry-pi-4-official-case?variant=29156995825747 https://thepihut.com/products/raspberry-pi-4-case-rw?src=raspberrypi&variant=20064194822206 1

Arthur Posted June 26, 2019 Author Posted June 26, 2019 FLIRC are doing a great case, I have the old one and it's better than any official case. The Flirc case looks really good. I was just about to pre-order one, but then saw the shipping costs/times. I assume The Pi Hut will sell the v4 case since they already sell Flirc cases for the 3B/3B+?
