“It's exceeds all the my expectaions, a very unique device and a huge technical advance coming from the Pi 4. I am very satisfied withmy purchase and with the outstanding service I have received from Pimoroni. They seem to be completely immensed in client satisfaction. I enjoy their WEBSITE an ease of placing an order, and especially their follow up when shipping.”
“I've owned 16 Raspberry Pi devices going right back to 2013 and they're all still in use but the Raspberry Pi 5 just has too many problems.
I bought it to replace an RP3 as a computer for the lounge but the hdmi output is too weak to power my TV receiver. Also SSH doesn't work properly. Nor does the audio output. Googling these issues reveals that I'm not alone and none of the suggested fixes worked for me.
Reluctantly I've raised a ticket to return it to Pimeroni and will be trying an alternative brand now instead.
To me, the Raspberry Pi 5 was released too soon.”
“Quick little machine. Compares favorably to N100. Although once all the required items are purchased, Pi5 is $5 to $10 more than N100. Still in this economy whats $10? Its Linux! :-) The Pi5 is up and running much more quickly without all the crazy config questions in a typical MS Windoze install. FireFox is quick and responsive on both.”
