“I was after a small device with low power consumption to run an astrophotography rig that would be battery powered. I coupled the Pi 5 up with an NVMe board and the whole unit works perfectly. I managed a six hour sesión the other night before cold got the better of me and the Pi 5 worked flawlessly throughout. It’s not really up to processing the images, but I have a Ryzen 7950x based PC for that.”
“I bought the rpi5 with 8 GB of ram and am doing very well. Much faster than version 4. I also got the heatsink with fan because it actually heats up a bit more than the previous versions.Nice the possibility of coupling an nvme ssd with the appropriate base. I am very satisfied.”
“This is a great product. It is an inexpensive computer that can be used for a very broad range of purposes. In my case I bought it to be a dedicated computer for use on digital ham radio modes. It will connect to a radio and be used to encode and decode messages. This will allow me to use my primary computer on other radios.”
“This review is less for the pi than for the pimoroni support team.
Received board just before Christmas but sadly cooler was not working.
Hayley contacted me in the new year and arranged a free return and fix service, and no everything is working well. Big thank you for the support!”
