I dont thibk we'll see a RP4 in 2019, the driver isnt even clisrbto ready...... but damn, i eiukd LOVE a raspberry pi zero-2 using a single cpu core from RP3 and a <1W power draw at max. Would really be great for my mobile electronics projects.

Hopefully the RP4, whenever it's released, uses a more powerful chip, Qualcomm Snapdragon chips, Huawei Kirin chips, and Mediatek P90 chips, are all fast enough to be used as ultraportable laptop chips, but so far there hasn't been much development in that space, other than Windows On ARM laptops, but they are locked to only running Windows 10.
