“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.”
“Dispatched very quickly considering it was a pre-order (less than a week). Installed Home Assistant on it and its running without any issues. Only getting a 4 out of 5 because its less than week since I received it.”
“A great little SBC - more power than you'd expect, silent and efficient and great for an emulation setup. The 8GB RAM makes all the difference when running more powerful machines such as the PS2 and DreamCast.”
