>THE RASPBERRY PI is a computer the size of a credit card that is aimed at do-it-yourselfers. The cheap and tiny device costs less than you'd pay for a few drinks in San Francisco, so it's already proven to be a hit among hobbyists who want to add light computing or internet connectivity to their projects. But the newest version of this little board has some additional features that make it capable enough to possibly replace your desktop PC.
I quite agree. I wasn't attempting to disparage the Pi4, only to agree that the 4 isn't quite ready to replace your PC. I use it as my media center because it only draws 1 watt of power so I can leave it on 24/7. However, it really struggles to play back full screen video. I basically reduced the resolution until it can render videos without skipping.
The Pi4 I use with LibreElec plays 4K content (HDR10 X265) without an issue.
