Is the Raspberry Pi 4 really that bad?

After this video, I feel that may be a good discussion:

    What's so wrong with it? I looked for negative reviews and couldn't find one.  The closest I found to a negative review is this IGN review, which found what I'd call foibles and not negatives. The speed of the 4B alone is amazing compared to the 1 that I have in my lab. I'm buying one today!

    That is the point. Even with USB-C not standard and HDMI glitches, the board is much better than Pi 3B. Thanks for pointing this out . I really like a 4 GB ram, but none are at the MC here.image

    I bought one with 4GB RAM when they first came out and became available at Pimoroni. The official enclosure and power supply for it became available to be before the Pi was, so i purchased those right away. Then i read the reviews about the Pi. So when i received it i tested it without the lock on the enclosure. The CPU temperature was so hot at idle that i did not bother using the lock. I actually got a heat sink and fan for it and hooked those up to it as soon as they arrived. I have actually not had much time available to use the Pi since acquiring it, but i am looking very much forward to playing around with it as soon as possible. I am very much satisfied with it and don't believe that will change if/when time becomes available for me to use it.
