“The additional speed is really noticeable, video and loading web pages is much faster than RPi4 - haven't tried many of the features like the dual camera inputs but the increase in processing speed will likely improve the frame rate too. Very pleased with the purchase - the RPi5 is now "adequate" as a desktop computer - the RPi4 was laggy and sometimes froze - thank you Eben Upton and team!”
“While I haven't powered it up yet, it is beautiful. I love the multiple display options, the usb c update, and the fact I can increase the memory through the pcie ribbon. The only downside is I have to add sound capabilities since they didn't add a jack for it”
“I am very happy with my Raspberry Pi 5, my notebook is unimportand now.
Since I have received my package I am in love with the performance of my new Pi.
Until today, I just have one isue that make me wondering, in the last 7 weeks in use my attached ssd(my boot device as well) I lost 3 times the content of the /boot/overlays/ directory and no idea why.
I allways shutdown my pi5 with a clean sudo shutdown now and the problem showed up after I repowered my pi 5 next time.
As a solution I copied the content from a sd card and it was no problem to boot from the ssd.
Today I edited the /boot/config.txt(added the lines
max_usb_current=1
program_usb_timeout=1
and hopefully this solved the issue).
But apart from this, I love the raspberry pi 5 soooo much!!!”
