玩过一段时间的树莓派3 以后,对树莓派印象挺好的。
早在一年多前,树莓派推出了更大记忆体,更强处理系统器的树莓派4,看到评测,让我口水直流!! 而且国外常常有些特别的优惠,更让我心动,也很心痛,因为看得到吃不到。还记得那时候8GB记忆体版本,竟然只要区区USD75!那价格除了这家,没有其他了吧!然后又推出了键盘版本,也是很方便的设计。
种种诱因下,因为新冠病毒开始居家学习,同事的旧电脑挂了,我就推荐他一起入手了树莓派4。不考虑windows桌上电脑是因为我想要让孩子习惯LINUX系统,让他们接触平时我们少用的系统,而且还不需要花大钱。我的这一套买回来不到USD120,包含主机板,电源,HDMI线,HDMI-VGA转接头和机壳。
目前,主要用途还是让孩子们上网,打打字,看看YouTube,儿子玩玩游戏。(女儿只喜欢手机了,心碎啊!)

压克力机壳,Type-C电源供应(15W),红色包装的主机板(跟我的一加手机一样!!),HDMI-VGA转接头和HDMI线。
Acryl case, 15 W Type-C supply, red packing motherboard (like my OnePlus Phone), HDMI cable and HDMI-VGA adapter.
树莓派4顶部。特别的是有两个MICRO HDMI输出。

可以自己组合的压克力机壳,需要手动去掉压克力上的保护膜,然后叠起来,放入主机板,再用螺丝固定。(保护膜好难撕~)附带风扇,方便散热。完成后好有成就感!

尝试接上电源,竟然无法插入!!
Can't plug in type-c !!!
一度以为买到瑕疵机壳,已经开始在该 瑕疵 压克力层开工了。
Thought I got a defected case, so I tried to modify it.
施工过程中发现只需要翻面就可以解决问题@@

因为自己太兴奋,没有冷静思考,让它没有了完美T.T
No more prefect.
不论经历了什么,最终还是顺利开机!
Any how, it boot up!!!
很庆幸这次出游带上了它,让一家老小即使出门在外,还是可以上网看戏!!
Glad to have it travel with families !!
后来又添购摄像头,想说,是不是可以支援ZOOM视频线上会议?还在测试中。。。
Camera still under testing.

Since I bought a Raspberry Pi 3 several years ago, I was quite impressed by its powerful specs.
When Raspberry Pi 4 launched in 2019, I've watched several review regarding this new board. Its new processor and huge memory make it more prefect, deals almost everything as good as a real pc, maybe better than a low cost smart phone. I really want to put an order when I saw 8GB ram offer for USD75 last year, the price was so attractive. But I can't because it won't ship to my country. Then it come out Raspberry Pi 400, a 4gb ram board built within a keyboard.
Finally, after several issues, Covid-19 is here, study at home, my colleague old desktop breakdown, I decided to buy a Raspberry Pi 4 with 8GB ram. To let my kids start touching different system than my notebook, let them learn how to deal with codes, let them play games with it. I hope they can learn something different from there.
I ordered a mainboard, an acryl case with fan, type-c power supply, HDMI cable and HDMI-VGA adapter. It costed me less than USD 120. Very very cheap !!!
