Thats all well and good on paper, but what do these changesactuallymean?
The Raspberry Pi 4 is no different; in fact, its hotter.
Watch where you put your fingers.
It sucks more power
This ones a no-brainer.
Unfortunately, even streaming 1080p YouTube videos is a challenge at this point.
Running at 1080p resolution, full screen video trailer for Stranger Things showed obvious jerkiness.
However, the playback was smooth when I watched the same clip in a smaller window.
The same problem occurred, even when I dropped the streams resolution down to 480p.
Playing offline 1080p videos works well, provided your screen is at 1920 x 1080 or lower resolution.
A downloaded trailer of Avengers Endgame was perfectly smooth when I watched it using the VLC player.
How well does the Raspberry Pi 4 handle common tasks?
Case in point: Gigabit Ethernet.
