For the first time, we&#8217;ve built a complete desktop experience. Whether you&#8217;re editing documents, browsing the web with a bunch of tabs open, juggling spreadsheets or drafting a presentation, you&#8217;ll find the experience smooth and very recognizable \u2014 but on a smaller, more energy-efficient and much more cost-effective machine.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.raspberrypi.org\/products\/raspberry-pi-4-model-b\/\">Your gateway to 4k madness<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/theculturednerd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/pi4a-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16025\" srcset=\"https:\/\/theculturednerd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/pi4a-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/theculturednerd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/pi4a-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is very easy to get caught in the upgrade and tech spec arms race, but when you just need a solid browser or terminal window to the internet, you might want to consider a Raspberry Pi 4 kit. For less than $100 you can get set up with a powerful computer in a tiny box. Hook it up to any TV (or other hdmi capable monitor), add a keyboard and mouse, and you are set.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/theculturednerd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/pi4b2-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15990\" srcset=\"https:\/\/theculturednerd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/pi4b2-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/theculturednerd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/pi4b2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/theculturednerd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/pi4b2-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But there&#8217;s so much more that this little computer can do.
