Mine arrived today too. Thanks E14. I won't post a photo because it looks exactly the same as everyone else's.

By the way, is there any way to tell from the board how much RAM it has? Obviously it's written on the box, but I can't see it on the Pi itself.

That's great news and a nice display. You don't have to use the HDMI next to the power you can you use the second one even if you only have a single display.

Received today afternoon by UPS from Chicago the Pi4. I suppose it is not the giveaway but the one sent by Randy via Daniel Zima. I think the other will come from Leed, UK. As I have the luck of two devices, I ordered (no idea when it will be shipped, I hope before the end of August) a 4Gb version from Farnell. So the amount of the unit for sure are three, maybe four with another shipment starting today from Leeds too.

What I will do with all these machines?
I guess someone thinks and thinks and solve the puzzle.

Interested to know if your charger works as there's a small error in the USB-C layout that means some chargers don't work.

Hooray! It works with the Apple charger!
That's the Apple USB-C charger on the right.
I quite like this little TV for RPi usage. It has a full 1080p HD display. I had to adjust settings for it to use the full resolution, looks great.

The HDMI adapter is a bit tight against the power plug, so I'll see if I can pick up a cable-style adapter at some point, but it works fine.

edit:
ps, it does a full restart in less than 20 seconds.
I'm using a Gigastone 32GB 90MB/s SD card, which was very affordable - 5 pack for about $30 CAD, with 5 year warranty even.

Cheers,

It looks like it just a C-type connector instead of micro B type.

Whilst waiting for my delivery (Friday apparently) I decided to purchase a very reasonably priced official Pi4 power supply.

The micro HDMI adapter for my Beaglebone Black should do the trick - for a single monitor at least.
