The new Raspberry Pi 4 Model B dropped today. It is a significant upgrade from the previous 3+. The 4GB RAM model is the best value for money. They all come with dual micro HDMI ports, Gigabit LAN, b/g/n/ac WiFi, 2 USB 3 ports and 2 USB 2 ports.
$94.95 is the regular price but at this price the RPi 4 is great value. The best place to pick up one of the new PRi's is from Little Bird Electronics' Pi Australia store.
Product ships in end of August.
This is a new product announcement, not a bargain
Bit late to the party.. But why aren't people buying directly from Element14? Free shipping on orders over $60…..

When I have to choose business or personal I select personal and they say I can only buy one from an authorized reseller.
Element 14 only sell to businesses.
Pick business and continue on.. Last time I ordered as a business they didn't ask for ABN or anything else.
Element 14 didn't have stock and they weren't taking preorders when I posted this.
Looking now and the back order status states: “More stock available week commencing 2/09/19”
Which PSU are you all getting?
I'm going to stick with my 2.5A PI3 PSU for now and shred some microSD cards…
I too am interested where to buy "dumb" 5V 3A+ USB power supplies with an AU plug with either a USB-C flying lead or a USB-C/USB-A port.
ebay ….it’s where i got mine when charger wouldn’t drive 3b+, just need to make sure it’s 5.1v and not just a charger which have voltage drops under load.
Do you have an example search/item?
What’s the difference between 5v and 5.1v? I have a DJI Spark charger which is 5v/3a, will this not do the trick based on the required specs? Any help is appreciated!
I've read the best solution is to power it from the GPIO pins rather than the USB port so I'll look into something that can do that well.
If the PoE hat wasn't so bloody expensive….. Damn near the cost of the RPi for a simple board, transformer and a fan!
Doesn't seem "better" based on the answer here?

I’d been using TP-Link PoE splitter that pulls the 5v 2 amp out of a PoE switch, sadly its only 2 amp so will have to look for something that “hopefully” can get 3 amps from a PoE port….
Hit upon this Stack Exchange: Choosing a Pi 4 Power Supply and I think I’ll go the PoE route, above my PoE power source is coming from a UniFi US8-60W 8 port 60 watt PoE switch, each port can do 15.4 watts out, so at 5 volts theoretically i can get 3 amps from the port and without USB peripherals the Pi 4 spec states it only needs ~2.5 amps PoE looks to be the way I’ll go…
Core is shipping theirs out NOW
Little bird shipped orders on Thursday.
Did anyone's order get shipped yet? Mine is in a backlog state.
Kind of annoying considering we're a week into the release of the product and it's available elsewhere.
You can also order these from rs components direct for $75.84 including postage for the 4gb version. Back order at the mment but scheduled for the 18th

Make that 83.42 with GST
Ok forget RS. Not shipping until December for the 4gb version.

Have this with CEC turned on on 2 TVs. Best $72 I've spent (on a media player at least).
