“Having only tried the PI 5 for a few hours I can already see the potential in the updated specs, Having the same footprint is amazing as it amazes me that something this powerful gets massive improvement year after year. Ignore the case in the image - forgot to order a Pi 5 case!”
“Still early days for the Pi 5 but experience was very painless. Chromium on the Pi5 using Raspberry Pi Os was very smooth and making use of the GPU. Ubuntu not quite as smooth with rendering in the software.”
“I might be wasting the full capabilities of the RPi5 because I'm running it headless. But it's running everything that was previously done by four older, separate Pis - and pretty fast. This was definitely one of my better whim-purchases.”
“An absolutely awesome piece of kit, so powerful and easy to set up and use. I was exceedingly impressed with the speed Delivery considering how long I could have been waiting for a brand-new product.”
“I'm writing this review on a Pi 5. It really does provide the experience of using a laptop/desktop machine! I strongly recommend using an external USB 3 SSD though, the performance of MicroSD cards is so far below the 5's performance that it wrecks the experience.”
“I have collected most of the Raspberry Pi’s over the years and all have surpassed expectations. I recently had to replace my desktop PC due to a Motherboard failure, the RPi5 handled all my E Mail, messaging and word processing with ease.”
