Have you tried surfing the web on a Raspberry Pi 3? Even if the 4 is 3 times faster, it’ll be a frustrating experience.
Additionally, once you add in all the peripherals for a laptop, the cost is much higher than if you just bought a cheap netbook. 4GB of Ram Pi 4 is $55. $30 for a decent USB C power supply and cord, plus $50 for a display, $15 for keyboard, $15 for mouse, plus $15 for a decent SD card and/or hard drive... plus individual shipping and then you need a case.

I didn't realize how bad it was until I tried my wife's Best Buy special instead of my supped up dev machine. The average low end device you get at Best Buy is barely usable. You at to at least go up to mid-range to have it not suck.
- phkahler 7y agoYou are right about Intel but not x86. Get an AMD APU 2400g.
