Pi Desktop kit transforms your Raspberry Pi into a stylish

doudy

Hello,
I have a Desktop Transformer Kit for PI3 + SSD.
Purchased in 2018 from McHobby.
I would like to know if it is possible to use the "Pi Desktop" board and case with a Raspberry Pi 4 - Model B - 4 GB?

Thanks

  • Hi,

    The Pi 4 has higher power consumption, which the Pi 3 desktop kit may well not have been designed for. Unless there's documentation to suggest otherwise, or if anyone has tried it, it's probably not going to be a seamless thing, without configuration to perhaps reduce Pi power consumption. You could just try it, but you might have the risk that some damage may occur to the kit.
