Despite looking on new features lot like previous Raspberry Pi models, the new Raspberry Pi 4 is a very different beast, and just as we’d expected, there are some radical architectural changes here from earlier Raspberry Pi boards.

Raspbian Buster Brings New Features
Buster features an improved desktop user interface, the Chromium 74 browser, and a new Mesa V3D video driver. This is an open source driver that reduces closed-source code in Raspbian by around 50%. Benefits of the driver include running 3D applications on the desktop.

Raspberry Pi 4 Accessories and Compatibility
If you already own one or more Raspberry Pi computers, you might be thinking you can save money on accessories. After all, these credit card-sized computers are all the same, right? Well, yes… usually. In many cases, you can swap Raspberry Pi model B boards (the usual type of Pi) between enclosures and exchange various other accessories. But as we’ve already seen, there is a new power connector, which means you’ll need to buy a new suitable adapter (or at least buy a USB-C to USB-C cable for an existing PSU). While you shouldn’t need to upgrade your micro SD card you will need a new case for the Raspberry Pi 4. The new micro-HDMI ports and USB-C power connector have resulted in a slightly revised profile.
