I tried to replace an old laptop (T430) with a raspberry pi 4 as a tv media player, after reading all about how it could do 4k and so on. The truth is it's just not powerful enough for that (or even 1080p), and stutters and tears on almost any media, and is just sluggish in general (It's not just the sd card, I paid out for a top end SDXC class 10, U3, V30, A2 etc, etc card, nor thermal, I have heatsink, fan). I really can't imagine using it as a main machine, with tens of active browser tabs, programming compilations, open documents, etc, etc.
