Faster but much hotter than rpi4. Really requires active cooling, sadly. None of my power supplies would give the required power - including beefy and new chargers like the one for new macbook pro. 5A at 5V is not commonly supported. So to anyone else buying this who also thinks "surely one of mine will work", you might want to add the official charger to your order.

I recently purchased the Raspberry Pi 5 and couldn't be more thrilled with my experience. First and foremost, the delivery was impressively quick, allowing me to dive into my projects sooner than expected. The performance of the Raspberry Pi 5 exceeded my expectations, clearly surpassing its predecessor. Overall, the Raspberry Pi 5 is a fantastic upgrade for anyone looking to explore the world of computing and DIY projects. Its combination of speed, versatility, and user-friendly design makes it a perfect choice for enthusiasts and professionals alike. I highly recommend the Raspberry Pi 5 to anyone seeking a reliable and powerful tool for their tinkering endeavours. Personally I will be using it as a 24/7 Minecraft server and so far it has been perfect.

The Pi5 was easy to set up using the rpi-imager software tool to create a Micro SD card for OS and user data storage. Once booted the performance seems to be excellent, though I have not run any benchmarks, so this is based on user perception. The only issue I spotted was that it started with a 4k screen resolution, and tiny text on my monitor. I needed another computer to run an internet search to find out how to change the screen resolution - and this process is not very intuitive. I would heartily recommend a Pi5 and I plan to use mine in exploring ARM assembly language for example.

It's a hell of a lot faster than my 3's and 4's. I'm playing about with video editing to see if it's possible. And it is, making a YouTube video log of my growing season in my poly tunnel as the subject. First video came out a treat. Having a lot of fun with the 5 and it's well worth every penny.

The performance of the 5 over the 4 was very surprising. Allowed me to utilise lidar processing on the fly :)
