I loaded Arch Linux on mine and (besides being stick on armv7 for the moment) it's functional and performant. Personally I look forward to using the future opencl support for faster visual recognition so I van make a smart doorbell or security cam.
For temps, I don't know of the included heatsink does anything to help temps. I've heard people say it actually hurts temps because the tape that holds it on acts as a thermal insulator. This hasn't really been my experience. I just throw it in a case with a tiny 3v3-5v fan and my tps never go over 60°c at synthetic full load (stress -c4 -m 4). I had noticed the USB ports get noticeably warm.
With the included power adaptor with power button, I didn't need to source my own USB c charger (which is good because there is apparently a serious comparability issue with the different ones out there.)
My only gripe is that it doesn't come with a case. I understand why (sorta) but with a cooling case, it performs a lot better.
Overall I am VERY happy with this "kit" and the accessories it came with!
Quality of build is exceptional. I bought the Argone One case for this which provides space for an M.2 SATA SSD. All of this is higher performing and more costly than typical predecessor products but that is Okay as I intend these to be used as personal workstations. When I finally get around to building electronics projects I will use the smaller, cheaper and lower power offerings.
The Pi4 has a lot more CPU and GPU power than previous generations. They also have an improved hardware stack.
I'm using mine to run RetroPi - it does a good job.
If you are going to do more with the device, you might consider spending extra to get more ram. Mine has 2GB - 4GB would be better if you are going to run Linux on it.
Since demand has been way ahead of supply for this Pi, I had plenty of time to explore the changes and ordered an appropriate case, and HDMI adapters for it ahead of time.
This kit comes with three heatsinks and while, as others have mentioned, the instructions are lacking for the placement of the heatsinks, a couple of seconds Googling will give you the info you need.
The power supply and inline switch have been adequate to run the Pi without any issues.
This is the Raspberry Pi I have been waiting for. It has the RAM and IO throughput to perform well as a desktop machine. It doesn't balk at opening up multiple tabs in Chromium, Libre Office apps open quickly, etc.
I haven't tested it yet with external drives, etc but I expect that this will make a great little NAS setup.
It seems to run a little warmer than the previous Pi's which I expected, so I ordered a case with a tiny almost inaudible fan. With the fan and heatsinks, the CPU temp is around 40c (about 104 degrees f).
The packaging was good, everything was well-protected, and the computer itself is what I expected. The in-line power switch is a nice bonus.
The included heat sinks were easy to apply, though some users might benefit from a diagram showing which chip each sink should be applied to.
The main concern with this initial model is the flaw in the USB-C power connector, which causes it to not be recognized if the power supply uses an e-marked cable. This is a legitimate problem, but it's only a real concern in high power applications. This isn't an issue for lower workload scenarios, which will be fine with a standard USB-C cable that isn't e-marked.
If you are planning on higher power consuming usage, you might want to wait until an updated board is released that fixes the issue, but if you've already bought this unit and want to run it at full power, you can bypass the design flaw by using a POE adapter and powering it via a POE injector.
This is actually a more flexible approach, especially for installation use, such as in digital signage, as POE cable runs can be much longer than USB cables, and eliminate the need for a second adapter at the installation site.
