You get up to 4 GB of RAM and you can connect two 4K displays with it. With the new hardware, you should be more comfortable using it as a desktop. Starting price remains the $35 like the previous models.**_ The Raspberry Pi Foundation has just launched the new [Raspberry Pi 4 Model B][1]. It comes with some impressive upgrades which makes one of the most powerful [single board computers][2] under $40. ![Raspberry Pi 4][3] ### What’s new in Raspberry Pi 4? The Raspberry Pi 4 now supports a dual 4K monitor setup – if that is what you are looking for. In addition to this, you get a more powerful processor which can be coupled with up to 4 GB of RAM. That’s almost equivalent to a mid-end laptop. The upgraded specification makes it a competitor in the [Linux mini-PC][4] segment while the same price tag of $35 gives it an edge over [other single board computers][2]. Right after the launch, it’s almost out of stock at major online stores. So, let us take a look at what makes it so impressive. #### Raspberry Pi 4 key specifications ![Raspberry Pi 4 Tech Specs][5] * Broadcom BCM2711, Quad core Cortex-A72 (ARM v8) 64-bit SoC @ 1.5GHz * Up to 4GB RAM (choices are 1 GB, 2 GB and 4 GB) * WiFi and Bluetooth 5.0 * 2 USB 3.0 and a USB 2.0 ports * 40 pin GPIO header (backward compatible) * 2 micro-HDMI ports (supports 4K displays) * USB-C (power supply) * Gigabit Ethernet If you are curious to know more, do check out the [official tech specs][6] on their website. ### Pricing and availability The pricing for just the Raspberry Pi 4 board starts from $35 and depending on the choice of RAM (1-4 GB), the cost shall vary. * Raspberry Pi 4 with 1 GB RAM: $35 * Raspberry Pi 4 with 2 GB RAM: $45 * Raspberry Pi 4 with 4 GB RAM: $55 Raspberry Pi 4 is available from different vendors depending on your country. It’s getting out of stock so you should either hurry up or wait for a few days/weeks. You can get purchase information on its official webpage. [Buy Raspberry Pi 4][1] You should note that [you need to have additional accessories in order to run Raspberry Pi][7]. This is why there are several starter kits available to give you all the necessary supporting accessories.

You can get the purchase information on Raspberry Pi website. [Raspberry Pi 4 Desktop Kit][12] #### Raspberry Pi 4 is promising With all that spec buff, it is definitely going to be one of the best out there. Also, instead of getting an entry-level desktop, Raspberry Pi 4 will be a better choice. You can easily access your documents, manage your spreadsheets, and do a lot of things at a cheaper price tag. I’m definitely considering to purchase the Raspberry Pi 4 as a spare (but a powerful) entry-level desktop. Well, I won’t be going for the 4K dual monitor setup, but it surely is capable of that, at least on paper. What do you think about the new Raspberry Pi 4 Model B?
