It has 4GB of RAM and is combined with a keyboard in a single case. It has an upgraded switch mode power supply (SMPS). The processor can be clocked at 1.8 GHz which is 20% faster than the previous version.<\/p>\n<p>Raspberry Pi OS is a Unix-like operating system for the Raspberry Pi series. It has been the primary operating system for Raspberry Pi series since 2013. It is free and Open Source, distributed by the Raspberry Pi Foundation.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier generations of Raspberry Pi needed external ethernet or WiFi adapters for networking. Later a built-in USB ethernet adaptor was included. Still later, WiFi and Bluetooth support were added. Raspberry Pi 4 has full gigabit Ethernet support.<\/p>\n<p><em>Source: Wikipedia<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is Raspberry Pi?
