Raspberry Pi 4

Your tiny, dual-display, desktop computer

…and robot brains, smart home hub, media centre, networked AI core, factory controller, and much more

Dual displays
4K output

We've listened to your feedback: with Raspberry Pi 4, you can run two monitors at once — and in 4K, too!

Your new desktop computer

The speed and performance of the new Raspberry Pi 4 is a step up from earlier models. For the first time, we've built a complete desktop experience. Whether you're editing documents, browsing the web with a bunch of tabs open, juggling spreadsheets or drafting a presentation, you'll find the experience smooth and very recognisable — but on a smaller, more energy-efficient and much more cost-effective machine.

Silent, energy-efficient

The fanless, energy-efficient Raspberry Pi runs silently and uses far less power than other computers.

Fast networking

Raspberry Pi 4 comes with Gigabit Ethernet, along with onboard wireless networking and Bluetooth.

USB 3

Your new Raspberry Pi 4 has upgraded USB capacity: along with two USB 2 ports you'll find two USB 3 ports, which can transfer data up to ten times faster.

Your choice of RAM

We're making different variants of the Raspberry Pi 4 available, depending on how much RAM you need — 2GB, 4GB, or 8GB.

Get started

Check out our step-by-step guide:
How to set up your Raspberry Pi 4 for the first time

You will need

• A 15W USB-C power supply – we recommend the official Raspberry Pi USB-C Power Supply
• Micro SD card with Raspberry Pi OS installed (buy a pre-loaded SD card along with your Raspberry Pi, or install Raspberry Pi OS usingRaspberry Pi imager)
• A keyboard and mouse
• Cables to connect to one or two displays via Raspberry Pi 4's micro HDMI ports

Take it further

• Learn how to configure, update, and navigate your Raspberry Pi once it's set up
• Discover a whole range of projects for your Raspberry Pi
• Read more detailed documentation on configuring your Raspberry Pi
• Find out about accessing your Raspberry Pi remotely

Software & OS

Raspberry Pi OS (previously called Raspbian) is the recommended operating system for normal use on a Raspberry Pi.

Raspberry Pi Imager is the quick and easy way to install Raspberry Pi OS and other operating systems to a microSD card, ready to use with your Raspberry Pi. 

Find help with installing Raspberry Pi OS on your Raspberry Pi in our online Getting started guide.

You can browse basic examples to help you get started with some of the software available in Raspberry Pi OS, find more detail about Raspberry Pi OS, or read information on fundamental Linux usage and commands for navigating the Raspberry Pi and managing its file system and users.

View and download relevant certificates and conformity documents.

Raspberry Pi 4 Model B will remain in production until at least January 2026
