DirkDiggles 06/24/19 2:13:02 PM #2:	The 4's just started to ship. They come in 1GB, 2GB, and 4GB Ram models. The 4's are twice as powerful than the 3B+. That says alot. the 1GB model is $35 whereas the 4GB is $55. You just need to switch your cables or get adapters for them for USB C and Micro HDMI. Sadly, they aren't on Amazon yet but you can find them on Element14, which I use all the time for my pi needs. https://www.raspberrypi.org/products/raspberry-pi-4-model-b/ https://www.element14.com/community/community/raspberry-pi I just put my order in for the 4GB model. --- https://imgtc.com/i/5CTKeaL.jpg https://imgtc.com/i/G9w39yE.gif <cite>DirkDiggles posted [p:923780007] in Which rasp...

DevsBro 06/24/19 3:38:37 PM #24:	I'm actually building one of those DS-inspired folding mini PCs using a 3. My own design. 5" touchscreen, bluetooth-only audio, mini keyboard, external USB and card readers, and--supposing I can get them to work--low battery LED and programmable shoulder buttons. I bought a pair of replacement GBA SP hinge axles which I'm hoping will handle the folding. Right now, the holdup is that I want to make my own USB cables to save as much space as I can, but the leads on a micro USB jack are incredibly close together. So basically I've been putting it off because I'm scared to try soldering them lol. --- 53 LIII 0b110101 p16 0x35 <cite>DevsBro posted [p:923783624] in Which rasp...
