With Upgraded Specs, Raspberry Pi 4 Takes Aim at Desktop Segment
======
_**Brief: Raspberry Pi 4 is here with the upgraded technical specifications. 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.

### Whats 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. Thats 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, its 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)

* 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. Its 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.

#### Raspberry Pi 4 desktop Kit
![Raspberry Pi 4 Desktop Kit][9]
You can also purchase the official Raspberry Pi 4 desktop kit that comes with a Raspberry Pi 4, its case, keyboard, mouse, micro HDMI cables, USB-C power supply, user guide and 16GB [microSD card with Raspbian installed][10].
![Raspberry Pi Branded Desktop Kit][11]
The entire kit is in red and white color and it looks pretty (if you care for the looks). You can get the purchase information on Raspberry Pi website.

#### 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.
Im definitely considering to purchase the Raspberry Pi 4 as a spare (but a powerful) entry-level desktop. Well, I wont 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? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
