“The Raspberry Pi 5 is a powerful upgrade with a very usefull power-button. However, it runs noticable hotter than previous models. It's great for enthusiasts who want more power for projects, but may be overkill for simple coding/homeautomation tasks.”
“The Pi 5 was everything I hoped it would be. I'm a retired IT programmer / analyst and I started with the original Pi in 2013 as a tool to play with Linux, Python, and electronics. The new Pi 5 adds the dimension of a powerful desktop environment to my playground.
I'm about to purchase my second. The ability to boot from high-speed SSD devices on the high speed bus is awesome. A real value for the money spent. Get one.. no two.”
