I use mine mostly for educational pursuits. For example, I have a clusterHAT with a bunch of Zeros on it, which I used to learn MPI. I also use a pi as a home central server, and other pis for related things around that. I actually love using the Pi4 with 8G RAM as a desktop with two monitors. I'm not a gamer, so I don't feel any lag. Lately I've been re-learning a lot of my old electronics project material with the newer Pi Pico microcontroller. I'm actually putting a larger project together with it, that will hopefully go online and not just be for myself.

  Sorry, I missed this. Hopefully you'll see my reply. Lag certainly was a problem for me with earlier pi models as well. The Raspberry Pi 4 doesn't have the lags, or at least I don't experience any. It's actually smoother than my laptop with YouTube videos. And it's quite fine with both hdmi ports in use. Probably not multiple videos at one time, of course.
