OZBARGAINEXCLUSIVE

As done in the past, we've got another OzBargain exclusive as a huge thank you this community's support over the years.

This is a preorder, it could take up to 3 weeks to fulfil. As authorised resellers, we'll be getting regular top-ups of stock, 600 boards ought to arrive next week with regular top-ups thereafter.

The Deal

You'll need a power supply of sorts. If you have the older variant of Raspberry Pi Power Supply then you will be able to use the above USB-C adaptor to power your shiny new RPi4. If you also need a power supply, we have them here.

How to order

Add the above products to your cart and on the view cart page there is a VOUCHER text box at the bottom. Enter OZBARGAINEXCLUSIVE code into that box, profit.

Note: you'll need those items "in" your cart to get this offer (or else the code won't work).

Limitations

The maximum discount applied once per order, no matter what QTYs are involved.

Again, this is a preorder, it could take up to 3 weeks to fulfil your order (up to 600 units will ship early next week).

Handy resources:

If you prefer something more hands-on to learn new stuff, then the Raspberry Pi Official Beginner's Guide has been refreshed for the new Raspberry Pi 4. It's also available as a free download, all 240 pages of Pi goodness.

So there you have it! Any Q's, please post below. We'll check-in often to help.

    $94.95 AUD for a $55 USD/$79 AUD item. Where's the bargain? What's the discount?

    Giftcard / Voucher code is not valid

      The Raspberry Pi Model B falls into Australia's National Television and Computer Recycling Scheme

      Less known again, is that the archaic regulation applies a 12KG weight to the <100gm RPi, which then attracts a 65c/KG disposal fee ($7.8).

      I hear change is on the horizon for that regulation, largely fostered by the continued lobbying of Single-Board Computer retailers!

      • Hybroid on 25/06/2019 - 00:46

        Noted. That's still above RRP though.

        Also, might want to make it clearer that the discount code only applies if you add ALL 4 items into basket. At which point the $14 discount still doesn't make it worthwhile for cheap peripherals personally.

          We're more aggressively priced for the 1GB variant, as we are supplied direct. Taking into account NTCRS, we're below UK/USD RRP for that variant (trying our best to make it as affordable as possible).

          4GB is via distribution, though we've listed it here as we thought that's the model Ozbargain would like to use most.

          If we negotiate better prices on future stock, we'll mark down accordingly, as we always do @Core.

        • trongy on 26/06/2019 - 08:58

          That's still above RRP though.

          What about GST? RRP in the US would not include sales tax because that varies by state and county. Once you account for GST, the prices are similar.

    • Micro HDMI Cable

    • 32GB MicroSD Card

    • Micro-B to USB-C Adaptor

    $116.22 - $94.95 = $21.27

    40% off sounds great until you compare prices and realise that it's 40% off of heavily inflated prices.

    Cheaper to buy them on eBay. (These may not even be the cheapest prices. I didn't look too hard)

    Total: $16.30

    Even if you were to buy the official Micro HDMI Cable from core and the MicroSD + USB adapter on eBay the total would still be less at only $18.40

    • idonotknowwhy on 25/06/2019 - 16:44

      Thanks for this. I don't even need the micro SD card and know how to use dd
      I already have 10 Xiaomi USB-B -> USB-C cables.
      So for me it'd just be the HDMI cable for $21.27. I'll buy the one you linked instead and go to the $94.95 deal.

    PoE would be a good build in… But maybe with this model they are pushing the power limit of PoE?

    • AssociatedCoreElectronics @ Core Electronics on 25/06/2019 - 02:14

      The official comms from RPi Foundation is that it's "PoE Enabled", which ought to mean the Official PoE HAT will work just fine with it. Yet another thing to test!

      • Pinchie on 25/06/2019 - 19:20

        Oh wow I thought they'd discontinued the PoE Hat - nice to know there's still stock for it. Be keen to see if they've fixed the USB under-powering issues they had with the hat on the Pi3. If you do check, please can you see what the current delivery over the onboard USBs is when powering with it? That issue was the only reason I never switched a couple of my projects to PoE.

        Looks like I might be swinging through Adamstown on my way home from work again soon. :P

    I've got an orange pi running as a NAS, it's perfectly fine… but honestly, for the cash it would be better just buying on ebay a used usff "tiny" hp g1 800 mini or lenovo m92p / m93p, you can get them for around $100 - 150, still very low power consumption but serious performance and only slightly bigger

    i really don't get these singleboard pcs that cost upwards of $50 unless you have a very specific use case for them, IOT or home automation, etc

    for eg
    https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/C-Barebone-PC-LENOVO-ThinkCentre…

    add one of these
    https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32853607414.html

    of if you need more grunt, ~6500 on passmark, 45w
    https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32947285286.html

    picked up a g1 800 with an i5 for $100, almost bought an lenovo as above but i just can't rationalise the purchase, have no real use for it lol

    • JMxoxo on 25/06/2019 - 07:54

      No ram, no cpu and no hdd with that first link. Would come out to quite a bit more than $95

      • desync on 25/06/2019 - 08:41
        +1

        ram will set you back like $15 and an ssd $30… thats $125 total

        meanwhile for this pi you still need a power adapter $10, and an sd card $15… in the end you are paying like $10 extra for something thats 10x better as a desktop pc or server, not to mention has operating systems that actually fully support it… it's not even close, completely no brainer

        if you are going to build something custom for IOT, home automation, etc.. then sure.. but these mini pc boards are actually quite expensive when you look at it objectively.. the lower priced ones that cost $20-30, different story

        actually found a better cpu, ivy bridge $15 and local

          where do the drives go? I don't see any bays on that thing. If it's just the internal drive then wouldn't you be better off with a HDD enclosure? Or even an external HDD docking station?

          • desync on 25/06/2019 - 16:34

            @fimmwolf: i believe they came with a 2.5" laptop hard drive, probably 500gb hybrid…

            you can see the stock one in this clip
            https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WdPsEHLBmkc&t=40s

            an ssd would be nice but if you wanted it for a file server than maybe shuck one of those mini externals, i know there are cheap seagates 5TB ones often posted on ozbargain for around $160 iirc… but i believe they might be slightly fatter, 12 or 15mm.. no idea if there is enough room for them.. or use you could use usb docking station with 2 slots for an ultra cheap solution.. my orange pi NAS which is going to be replaced by this just has one of those lacie 8TB external drives

            if you wanted to use it as a plex server then be aware that these chips only have intel HD graphics 2000 which does have hardware acceleration for both encoding and decoding for x264 but no hardware support for x265 which means the CPU will have to decode it.. the $15 chip will handle one stream of decoding x265 but more than this it's going to struggle, not a big deal since the vast majority of videos are encoded in x264 anyway but it's something to keep in mind. If you have a lot of x265 videos and require concurrent streams of x265 videos then you best go with a cpu with more grunt, you can get a quad core xeon 1260L for $55 from aliexpress, 300% the performance

I have a spare SSD but wanted to know your thoughts if the Xeon processor was worth it if the primary focus was light gaming and occasional productivity (Office)? Also, do you have any links for where you got your RAM? I had a look on AliExpress and from what I could figure out, these take SODIMM DDR3 1.5v sticks. Will a single 4gb 1600mhz do the trick?

              Edit: Not sure why my previous post was deleted as it for an AliExpress link for RAM and not affiliated!

      what about a cpu cooler, what fits in these things?

      • desync on 25/06/2019 - 19:51

        you'd have to stick with the OEM which is apparently very well designed

        as long as your CPU is below 45W TDP then you should be ok, factory is 35W but so people have been running 45W without thermal throttling, if silence is paramount then stick with a 35W

        if you were talking about the PI rather than the lenovo then just any cheap small heatsink will do, no fan required

    • netsurfer on 26/06/2019 - 11:58

      That's 2018 blog. The main selling point of RPi 4 is the USB 3 support (the gigabit ethernet support is also good). This makes it possible to put SSD on it.
      The main gripe I have with RPi is still its weak CPU, which makes it still feel more like a toy, rather than a decent mini PC.

      Also, this constant/regular minor updates every year is annoying.

  • keishton on 26/06/2019 - 12:18

    • netsurfer on 26/06/2019 - 22:02
      +1

      USB-C/PD chargers support both 5V charging and PD charging with PD charging operating on PD pins.
      From doing a Web search, it looks like USB-PD charging is not supported so if you use a USB-C charger, it will end up only charge using the standard USB 5V (non-PD charging). Essentially, it uses micro USB port wiring but wired on a USB-C port.

      Short version: You can use a USB-C PD charger except there is no benefit at all. A USB-A charger (assuming it supports 5V high current) is good enough.
