    Good deal. Also can get it here: https://au.rs-online.com/web/p/products/1822096/ for $88 if you dont want to wait months for cashback

      Not really a good deal when your own link points to a better one !

    Another "deal" relying on cashback. Not really a deal.

    • pinkybrain on 26/10/2019 - 12:10

      in a way u are right

      $92.90 is not that great of a price on it's own

      • [Deactivated] on 26/10/2019 - 16:07

        Then I can list the 92,000 products on Amazon as deals.

        IMHO these should be listed in the comments of the ShopBack Amazon post

        • pinkybrain on 27/10/2019 - 08:51

          but on the other hand, not everyone would be reading all comments of the ShopBack Amazon post
          so having this listed as a deal would mean more people would be aware of it..

          and in the end if you are saving money or getting it cheaper after cashback then it is still better than paying full price without any cashback

            @pinkybrain: But it’s not a cheap price to begin with, unlike many other products on Amazon.

    • The Gent on 26/10/2019 - 14:24

      Just use the cashback and then it is a deal, then…?

        I cant be bothered with cashback stuff, maybe I'm not dedicated enough to the bargain but it just seems like hard work. I sometimes think about signing up, click the link and just go… nah.

          Then you can't be bothered with this site in general, as it doesn't take much effort in clicking a link before you purchase an item.

        • The Gent on 28/10/2019 - 08:03

          A browser extension pops up when you go on the website saying "click to activate X% cashback" then you do and it does.

    Might be an idea to wait for the revision when they fix the usb c charger cable problem.

    • netsurfer on 26/10/2019 - 22:54

      It's not an issue unless you have a spare original Apple 18W, 30W or better charger. Thing is, even the 18W charger is 2X the price of the Raspberry Pi 4 original charger.

      Raspberry Pi 4 is using USB-C only because they want 5V 3A support. It doesn't support any of the USB-C PD higher voltage at all.

      It's interesting that people are complaining Samsung Note 10+ requiring a proper USB-PD 3.0/PPS cable. We know Apple don't use PPS with USB-PD currently. Also, I doubt Google put a cable capable of supporting USB-PD/PPS with their Google branded phones. So, what's the right way forward? Let's all go and buy expensive USB 3.1 gen 2 cable with USB-PD 3.0/PPS support?

      • pinkybrain on 27/10/2019 - 08:45

        i would still wait for the revision
        since this is a known bad design (to cut cost) and no doubt they probably have already done the fix
        but waiting for stock to clear of all the current version

        Also the current version is known to be very hot so I want to see if they can help fix the thermal issues which would cause throttling.

        • Hintswen on 27/10/2019 - 11:39

          That is from July, it's been 3 months and I haven't heard any word of a new revision yet so I don't think I'll hold my breath.

          • pinkybrain on 27/10/2019 - 18:22

            @Hintswen: of course they aren't gonna mention a revision even if there was one made already
            since that would really slowdown the purchase of the current model.

            That would be really stupid thing for them to do..

            The smart thing for them to do is to clear out all the current stock first..

            • Hintswen on 28/10/2019 - 07:05

              @pinkybrain: Sure, but if they had 3 months of stock lying around waiting to be sold I would be surprised. I don't see this getting fixed until the next model gets released probably mid next year at the earliest.

            • netsurfer on 28/10/2019 - 11:39

              @pinkybrain: The question is which power adapter are you going to use after the change? Apple or Samsung? Doesn't matter which one you pick, assuming the "PD" e-marked support is added, every Apple/Samsung USB-C charger is overpriced and the revised Rpi 4 will still only use 5V without PD. Are you going to buy Apple cable or Samsung cable (Apple cable with USB-C/PD/USB 2.0 or Samsung (the latest one with USB-C/PD 3 with PPS/USB 3.1 gen?).

              The RPi devs already mentioned the reason they used USB-C is due to doubling of the pins (that's why USB-C is reversible) essentially allows more current out without actually using the USB-C/PD pins. Basically, RPi 4 is not using USB-PD, but rather the increase of default 5V max current.

              Think about it, there is no battery to charge so USB-PD's variable voltage is pretty useless to RPi and 7V, 9V or 12V will require a complete board re-design. It will just a minor tweak to conform to USB-C/PD which RPi 4 does not use. The whole USB-C cable is a mess right now, especially if USB-PD 3.0/PPS becomes popular later on - that means a lot of cables will need to be chuck away.

              Honestly, so many dodgy USB-C cables out there, even Google USB-C to USB-C cables for phones (especially Nexus range ones) are not good quality. The evolving standards of USB-C (including PD) means a lot of incompatibility. Was thinking about using Apple 29W charger (coz. I got it cheap, but then realised that it doesn't properly conform to the latest standards nor it supports 5V@3A).

              A more useful change would be make the micro HDMI ports HDMI ports.

              • pinkybrain on 28/10/2019 - 12:06

                @netsurfer: the apple and samsung chargers would cost me nothing cos I got lots of chargers due to owning many devices ..

                The Pi4 4GB is already pretty expensive as it is …
                so I don't want to spend another $20 to $30 for just another pi4 charger..

                It doesn't matter what reason the devs are giving
                the point is they aren't building it to the correct standard of the USB-C spec (and no doubt one of the factors is cost cutting reason)

                As I mentioned another issue with the rpi4 is it gets really hot from the reviews I have seen
                so that would cause throttling really quickly
                This means we won't be getting the full performance of the pi4 due to the throttling.

                https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=243500
                https://www.theregister.co.uk/2019/07/22/raspberry_pi_4_too_…

                Also many of the software I am interested in is still not optimized for the pi4 or is available for it yet

                BTW are you buying or have bought the pi4?
                and which ram config are you using?

                • netsurfer on 28/10/2019 - 12:11

                  @pinkybrain: All Android mobile phones with QC3 support (but without QC4) support which use USB-C port don't conform to USB-C/PD standard. Don't see people jumping up and down except some Google engineers.

                  So you have lots of Apple 18W, 30W, or better chargers? For Samsung, you need a charger from Note 10. So, unless you have lots of iPhone 11 Pro's, Note 10 Plus's or Macbook Pros, all the other chargers are pretty useless (including Apple 29W USB-C charger - not good enough for RPi 4). How about Apple's USB-C charging cable being USB 2.0 and the corner cutting lightning to USB-C 1m cable (used to be USB 3.0 but to make it cheap, Apple made the latest revision USB 2.0)? Apple cut cost and no one complained.

                  Note: We do not know whether those Apple and Samsung chargers will allow 3A without going through PD. I am assuming they will. Otherwise, we are once again in yet another USB-C mess situation. Even amongst Apple, Samsung, Google and Dell, they release new devices needing to use newer chargers to fully benefit from high speed charging.

                  My main issue with RPi 4 isn't it doesn't conform to USB-C/PD, but it wants 5V/3A… and this basically means a lot of USB-A chargers are out. It's also disappointing the 29W Apple charger is NOT conforming to standards (coz. they were dirt cheap at one stage). Also, if PPS actually took off, it will be yet another round of cable mess.

                  USB-C is hyped up way too much to be a one charger / one cable that does it all. The reality is you are still better off with original charger / cable combination. This is the case for RPi 4 right now anyway. I have cables and chargers that probably can power RPi 4 properly now but I still cave in and got the original / official charger (because it is too much fuss to run tests through a USB-C meter) and it is cheaper than buying any Samsung or Apple charger which "may" work well.

                  • tor on 03/11/2019 - 16:39

                    @netsurfer: The issue at hand here is that standard compliant equipment refuse to work properly with the raspberry pi because it identifies itself as an audio adapter accessory. All the other issues you mentioned are just whataboutism.

                • netsurfer on 28/10/2019 - 12:57

                  @pinkybrain: The USB-PD e-marked cable support issue is a "rich people" issue.

                  • You need to have a spare USB-C/USB-C e-marked cable. If you actually want to buy one of those, even for cheaper 3rd party cable, you are looking at USB-C/USB-C 3.1 gen 2 cable (coz. only USB-C 3.1 gen 2 mandates cables must be e-marked), and you need to filter out the ones which are junk (incorrectly e-marked) so it will end up costing more than the official power adapter.
                  • If you decided to go cheap and use USB-A chargers, there is no issue whatsoever because USB-A cannot support USB-PD.
                  • This is an issue only if you must go all the way to 3A, meaning you will put 2 SSDs via USB 3 ports, and used up the other 2 USB-A ports. Honestly, if you can afford to put 2x SSDs on RPi 4, don't cry poor and said the official adapter costs too much. If you are a casual RPi user, USB-A 2.4A is sufficient so who gives a damn about e-marked support in that case (since PD is impossible with USB-A).

                  Thermal throttling - all modern CPUs have this issue. Even latest Snapdragon and Apple A series CPUs. There are cases with fan(s) or well designed cases with metal elements (acting like a heat sink).

    Anything actually worth making with raspberry pi's (had a look at the pet projects and they seem to be adblocking routers, clocks and plex servers, ie stuff u can do on a 2nd PC)

    • netsurfer on 29/10/2019 - 23:08

      Obviously a PC is more powerful. It's mainly if you want a very basic server (NAS, Print, Web) which uses less than 15W per hour.

      RPi 4 technically can support 2 4K displays (though at 30Hz) or 1 4K@60Hz + 1 1080p. Problem is it still needs app updates to support its hardware accelerated decoding (and probably limited to selected codecs).
