When RPi first came out, I had high hopes and bought a half-dozen for a project. Those languished in a drawer for an unknown amount of time. The missus insists that I gave them to a neighbor's kid, but I have no memory of doing so. Either way, they were not in the drawer when I actually did want to give them away. Go figure?
Anyhow, I'd like to dip my toe back in the SBC waters. The RP4 seems to be adept enough that I won't *need* to commit a few hundred hours to it. I simply lack the blocks of time necessary to undertake an entirely new hobby. Seriously, very little of my time belongs to me these days.
My question:
Would that be adequate as a starter Pi? My initial goal will be to turn it into a working computer, with peripherals. My end goal might be a dedicated box for 3D printing. (I'd not be doing design on the Pi, I'd just be using it to run the printing process. By itself, that should be a fairly light load.)
