-Raspberry Pi 4B: Where were the quality controls?
-Your new Raspberry Pi 4 won't power on? USB-C cable problem now officially confirmed
-'The Raspberry Pi 4 Needs a Fan' - Slashdot (According to this, Pi 4 pretty much needs a fan cooling it - a statement I may agree with as it gets hot)
-Shortly after I made my post detailing the positives and negatives of the Pi 4 I got to try and rating the setup a 6.5/10 overall, praising it's use as a Desktop Replacement, my Pi board started having terrible audio issues
So I'm posting this in the Consumer Affairs board to further educate people on Pi 4 and the current luck-of-the-draw, while neither discouraging them fully from buying one, nor discouraging them from choosing to buy a competitor board like the Odroid N2 based on that 2-8% chance their Pi board may not work well.
