Ok thank you very much for all your awnsers, I’m just new to this whole world and I feel there’s an infinite amount of knowledge in this field that I want to acquire.

After some research, market check and taking some people’s advices i decided to buy the raspberry pi 3 B+, this RasPi charges with a 5V 2.5A microusb charger. The thing is that i ordered the wrong charger, the 5V 3A Usb-c charger for raspberry pi 4, and now due to coronavirus i can’t return the charger. Is there any problem for me to just use this charger with an adapter from USB C to MicroUSB?

Another unrelated question, my RasPi came without the OS installed, so I proceeded to download raspberry pi imager on my computer and installed the os inside an sd card, my question is, I have to turn on the raspberry pi with the sd card inserted, and then boot up, afterwards can i erase the os from the sd carD?

@sdetweil @Bugsounet I just happened to find a raspi 4 with 1 G for the same price of a Raspi 3 B+. Now im unsure about wich one is the best option.

@sdetweil ok thank you for the information.

@sdetweil @Bugsounet I will buy the rpib+. Have you guys developed a mirror of your own? Have you got any experience in this subject?

@Bugsounet Yes i mean to use voice activation. If im not able to will just use buttons of some sort or a keyboard, wich is kind of lame. But right now im just looking at what model can fully satisfy my needs.

@sdetweil @Bugsounet oh i get it now. I just ment to run magic mirror with youtube, calendar, weather forecast and try to implement voice activation and or movement sensors

@Bugsounet I was aiming for a low budget, and i can get the RPI3B+ at 40 bucks, but the RPI4 at 70, so if the RPI3B+ could fulfill the necessities that I need then i would rather have that one.

@sdetweil What do you mean by out of power? i mean to use it 24/7 plugged.
