“Not long had this however got a few ideas for this pi5.
Love how it has its own power button. Been longing for this. Shame the placement of the connection is different to the pi 4. Would have liked to see some backward compatible with previous cases.
It should be 2.4 times more powerful than its predecessor the pi 4. Time will tell. Overall. I have been looking forward to getting this”
“Skipped the Raspberry Pi 4 because of the price en stock. But when this one came in pre-order I haven't waited a moment. Very happy with it.
Can run almost everything. Great computer.”
“Great improvement over the Pi 4 in terms of performance. Although the 4 wasn't a bad desktop, the CPU and GPU improvements of the 5 make this a really nice machine to use with GUI.
Being able to power down the Pi is a real advantage. Needs a lot of 5v power (5A) which most PSUs can't supply, so I strongly recommend the Pi power supply. Shame the Pi doesn't support WoL (Wake on LAN) but it's not a big deal.
Looking forward to getting my NVMe PCIE hat in the next few weeks (hopefully) and seeing how fast the Pi runs when booting off NVMe.
Couple of minor issues getting the Pi camera 3 working, but I'm sure it just needs a little more tinkering time. Note for those using screens and cameras, the Pi5 has a smaller ribbon connector, but the Pi Hut supplies adapter cables.”
“This is my first hands-on with the Raspberry Pi 5. The first thing I noticed as soon as I unboxed it was the refined build quality compared to its previous generations. Everything seemed spot on. Pi-hut did their best to get my shipment as early as possible. within 20 days of my order, I got the Pi delivered. Great job.”
