“Excellent. Bought the 8GB version. Up and running very quickly. Really well sorted Linux based OS, very windows-like desktop, and the Pi 5 performance is perfectly adequate. Power consumption is low, so good for an always-on machine. Drives my 27 inch 1920 x 1080 monitor easily. choice of browsers (Firefox syncs its setting from my windows machines), LibreOffice for docs, spreadsheets etc, package manager good. I've now also added Apache web-server, with PHP and mySQL and I'm enjoying programming in PHP. Highly recommended. Looking at music servers, so I'll be buying another very soon.”
“Absolutely brilliant purchase.
I used the instructions over at Home Assistant and installed the Home Assistant OS using the raspberry pi SD card installer and my home is automated! Took less than a few minutes to physically put together.
Can't thank the pi hut enough for being so speedy this close to Christmas. Many thanks.”
“Brilliant piece of equipment! I'm currently making a retro Pi system. I love how easy it is to follow the steps step by step. I love how tiny the Pi is—it's the size of a credit card. I love how it supports both Wi-Fi and ethernet.
I would highly recommend to those who are wanting to try coding”
“Bought the Pi 5 starter kit to have a stand alone Raspberry Pi 5 setup for NMS CEEFAX.
Now reliving my fascination with live CEEFAX once again 24/7/365 thanks to Nathan and my new Pi 5.”
