I'm getting ready to set up Node and thinking about buying a Raspberry Pi 4 from Amazon UK. Is that a good idea or is there a better option to buy it in the UK?

Running a node on a RPi isn't the best, you will also need a UPS to avoid losing / corrupting your data, and a robust internet connection. I believe it's easier to run the node on a VPS, but that depends also what you want to do with it. Is it for lightning? Or just run the bitcoin node. Also RPi are very expensive now from what I've heard.

Probably better off wiping an old laptop and installing a Linux distro to run Bitcoin Core.
