my Pi 4 sits next to my desktop and plays downloaded Youtube videos and music
it also does a handful of LAN web things like running a few local instances of some web applications (in particular, poti-board for oekaki!) and SMB and the lot
it's very useful having another computer next to your actual computer, although I do want a Pi 5 since doing web browsing anything is unbearably slow (although I don't expect a major performance bump)

using an SD card with a Pi is probably a bad idea if your use case can boot from USB
running over a cheap SSD over USB with a SATA-USB cable has been way, way, way better, just head and shoulders faster
if you do need an SD for your specific use case, prioritize speed and then size
a too slow SD card on a Pi 4 or 5 will cause extremely painful UI stalls, found that out when moving my old Pi 2 card to a 4 and although technically everything was faster when you measured the times, the UI was vastly less responsive
while a too small one will absolutely brick itself since you need some buffer space to spread out writes, and a boot drive will absolutely be hammered by regular writes
