#2Cool to hear that they're working more on 64-bit version of Raspbian (now Raspberry Pi OS?)

#3Wow, this is such a great news!
This plus the pinebook pro, I really hope that it will help the software availability on armv8 to skyrocket!
Also I really hope that someone will come with a new case to use it as tablet and laptop. Like a mix between the old pi-top and a surface book (or a PineTab).
If anyone has experience developing on the raspberry pi 4 (4GB), I really want to hear from you, especially regarding the processor performance.

#4Did they fix the stability issue? Even with a known-good power supply my raspberry pi 3 has been losing power 3-4 times a week at random points.

#5As someone currently working on supporting application and firmware code on this platform, this is pretty interesting. I'd also like to point out that Buildroot (https://buildroot.org) and upstream U-boot have first class support for building and running your own 64-bit kernel and userland based on included defconfigs.
If you have an application you'd like to ship on a Raspberry Pi image, especially if you want to address all 8 GiB from a single process, check out Buildroot.

FWIW, I'm using the official power supply and have never encounter any power issue.

#78GB is enough to run ZFS with memory ARC backing for TB sized disks behind raidZ2. I've run this with Intel 64bit CPUs, I can't see a reason this won't also run in reasonable time for arm. (Both memory shuffles and the checksum computation)
With the right PiHAT this makes raid FS much nicer.

#8Before anyone goes "OMG I could use it as a desktop" $75 is close to what you would pay for couple year old ~4 faster laptop with broken screen, sodimm and PCIE SSD slots. Quick ebay check shows things like $90 'Dell XPS12 i7-3537U 8gb 128GB SSD broken screen'

#9Wow 8GB is nice impressive. It's too bad to us it's easy to use these things but comparatively easier to say "here's a laptop" to someone less inclined. I was trying to suggest these to people as replaceable computers that you don't have to worry about getting stolen eg. just keep cheap monitor/keyboard/basic phone charger... anyway that's neat. Basic phone charger may have to get bumped up for more amp(s) but yeah.

Yes, that was addressed earlier this year.
