“What can I say, probably the best piece of IT available in the whole world today, why? Because if you take the cost of the RPI and what it delivers and then proportionally compare the output to the cost of a decent IT enterprise server, you will realise that the enterprise servers in today's world are massively overpriced and do not deliver the same performance per price unit as an RPI. I would love to see the RPI people have a go at delivering an enterprise server because I think they could deliver a really good one and as I am in an IT position where I get to recommend to customers which server to buy I would recommend an RPI every time. And let me not forget the great store and delivery of the PI Hut, keep it up folks, it works very well.”
“This is a brilliant little workhorse. So easy to setup. I run all of my PI’s headless and with only the Basic OS installed but it still surprises me how quick these little boards are.
Still torn between the PI4 and the new PI5, as for now with the 5’s availability still low I’ll be sticking to the 4.”
“It works great except it keeps wiping out passwords in Chromium regardless of what I try to do. That's a software issue tho. Chromium should be tested to not have this happen nor crash when running youtube under chromium. The price was good however the means to ship to the US was woefully inadequate - it went to Germany (huh?) where it languished for a few weeks before finally showing up. DHL direct to the US would have been better.”
“Incredible device, I bought for fun. I already have other models but this one caught my attention to test out some emulated games. I have installed RetroPie, and it runs decently N64 games, sometimes the framerate is not at its finest, but it works. Nice for a portable device, that can run with a mobile bank.
The downside is that this device is delicate, and I am using it with a good case.”
