  I bought it in 2021 to experiment with it (to install some streaming platform, to turn it into a gaming console for retro games, etc.)

  I had put an SSD in it and I had also bought the Argon M.2 case.

  - I ended up using it as a gaming console, I can say that it is quite good and I used it that way for a while.
  - Eventually, it ended up in the lab and has been running for about 2 years PERMANENTLY all day for a project I was working on. So I can say that I am fully satisfied.

  On the negative side (which I don't know if it's related to the fact that I installed the Argon M.2):
  - For some reason, it does NOT output to TVs (I have experimented countless times with the configuration and couldn't get it to output) - I never tried it without the case because I was just too lazy to go get a micro HDMI to HDMI :P, so maybe that's why it doesn't output to TVs.

  Now it runs at my home, locally some scripts for various automations with Philips Hue (bridge, lights, motion sensor) for custom logic/rules.

  I bought it to connect some sensors to the GPIO and collect some data. It does its job perfectly fine. However, if you want to use it as a media player, it plays at 1080 but you need to be patient until YouTube loads and there might be some video lags. Of course, since I have it for data collection, background processes might slightly burden it, but still. I also added a passive cooler on top and with a load of around 80%, it gives me temperatures this summer that do not exceed 80 degrees. But it requires a large cooler, not those the size of a coin that cover it completely.

  I bought it 2-3 months ago for €170 because it was in short supply, and now your price has dropped below €100. That's why I had written "not vfm".. but at €100 I think it's fair.

  I use it for a Web Server with Ubuntu, it's amazing, I don't care about wireless connection at all, I use it with Ethernet, it handles heavy applications that I have programmed without consuming a lot of resources, the downside is browsing, so applications using the Selenium library are heavy.

  It has incredible development capabilities, I create many projects with all Raspberry products, I also love the Picos, now with the price of kilowatt-hour rising, I will set up zero-consumption systems as it can be easily supported by an economical photovoltaic system due to its low energy requirement.

  If you have knowledge to set up Kubernetes/Clusters and operate 5/10/20 Raspberry Pis as one, then you achieve incredible power at a relatively low consumption, and this is the only way if you don't want to be ripped off by the power company.

  The machine is definitely worth its money. It runs any operating system without any problems. So far, I have tried Raspberry OS, Twister OS, Ubuntu, Windows 11, Android 11, and Android TV. With a fast SSD or USB stick, it performs amazingly. I have also added a cooler tower and it doesn't exceed 46 degrees. The only downside is that its WiFi doesn't reach maximum speeds. Maybe it's because of the aluminum case I have installed.

  It is very good for its price. The only thing it needs is a simple cooler: https://www.skroutz.gr/s/19462441/Set-psyktron-gia-to-Raspberry-Pi-4-3.html?from=account_favorites

  A real tool. Very good construction quality, numerous inputs - outputs and truly countless uses. If you want to learn more about Raspberry Pi, watch the related video: https://youtu.be/5UjcM6Lm-Xc

  An interesting solution for someone who wants to enter the Linux world without spending a lot of money. It's also a great solution for kids to start getting into computers. If you're good with electronics and programming, you can make cool gadgets on your own. Finally, it's a cheap solution for setting up a home file server.

  I wouldn't recommend it for a media player.

  Excellent in the 8GB RAM version. To reach 2GB usage with Raspbian, you need to open any application, so it's perfect to note that it works from the first time it was plugged in with active cooling and thermal paste, with temperatures ranging from 25 to 34 at worst after an hour without the fan running. Generally, when you're getting a Raspberry, you should factor in around 30-35 euros for a cooler. Note that you can install Windows 10 with 8GB RAM, and it runs smoothly. You can also use Raspbian like I do, but don't be afraid that it's 32-bit - it reads the 8GB normally and doesn't lag anywhere. When you're getting something, get the best version - half measures aren't worth it, especially since you can install Raspbian, Windows 10, Ubuntu, etc. It's better to get the 8GB version like I did.
