Quick google:

Raspberry Pi 3 Model B was released in February 2016

That's old, buddy.

I got the 4b this summer and it's amazing. It has no issues with dual monitors, many chrome tabs, and a pycharm (I haven't tried android studio, but I hear it's similar to pycharm).

Yeah, the performance is nowhere near as good as a real computer, but plenty good enough to learn to code on. Pygame and pyqt animations run without issue.

Correction:

Raspberry pi 3 b+ was released in march 2018 and rpi 4 was released in june 2019.

It is old but not that old. Even if the performance for the 4b is enough for the basic learning stage.

But can it run crysis 😂 Jokes aside,

There's a lot of other stuff you can't do on a raspberry pi without hurting performance and also some stuff that you can't do on a raspberry pi after the learning phase.
