> I wonder if anyone here is using RPi as a main PC? Seems to be capable of most office work with a bit of multimedia on the side. My laptop is dying and I would love to get something stationary that is low-power by default yet good enough so that the internet wouldn't lag.

Unfortunately, it is too slow to even smoothly power a desktop environment.

Thanks. This is a bit surprising to me since they advertise two 60 Hz 4K display drivers...

You can have 4k60 and still have open office take seconds to respond to a keyboard input.

Sure but why include that if a text processor is too much for the board? To display static images or demoscene visualisations?

It will probably display video at those resolutions and refresh rates just fine, so it could be used for improvised commercial displays like a TV at a conference looping some information, for example.

If it's hardware accelerated it could still display that fine. I'm sure there are older games that could indeed run in 4k60fps

The Raspberry Pi 4 could do a single monitor at 4K/60Hz.

The overall performance still wasn't great.
