Raspberry Pi 4B - 4GB RAM

The Raspberry Pi 4 Model B delivers substantial improvements in processing power, graphics performance, memory capacity, and connectivity over earlier Raspberry Pi models. It provides desktop performance rivaling entry-level x86 PCs, featuring dual display capability, wireless networking, and 40 GPIO pins for hardware interfacing.

Core Capabilities

• Dual 4K Display Support: Two Micro HDMI outputs for dual-monitor configurations
• High-Speed USB 3.0: Two USB 3.0 ports with 10x faster transfer speeds
• Network Connectivity: Gigabit Ethernet and dual-band (2.4/5.0 GHz) wireless
• Bluetooth 5.0: Wireless connectivity for compatible peripherals
• GPIO Interface: 40-pin header for sensors, motors, and expansion modules

What You'll Need

• Power: 15W USB-C power adapter (required)
• Storage: Micro SD card with Raspberry Pi OS (pre-flashed options available from Vilros)
• Input Devices: USB keyboard and mouse
• Display Connection: Micro HDMI cable

Choosing the Right RAM Configuration

Additional RAM supports more concurrent applications, larger files, and resource-intensive programs without performance loss. For most beginners and educational purposes, 4GB is an excellent starting point.

• 1GB – Suitable only for simple command-line tasks, minimal automation, or single lightweight programs. Not recommended for desktop use or multitasking. (Note: discontinued in many markets)
• 2GB – Works well for general computing and basic projects like programming, media playback, or single-application use. Offers good value for fundamental tasks
• 4GB – Recommended for extensive multitasking, complete desktop environments, and intermediate projects. Ideal for users running multiple applications or graphical interfaces
• 8GB – Designed for advanced users, developers, and demanding applications including databases, emulation, containerized services, and media servers
