“Purchased as an upgrade from a 3b.
Easy to configure and running it in kiosk mode with solar assistant.
Good go see a real time clock and power button”
“The Raspberry Pi 5 is a significant step up from previous models, delivering a noticeable boost in performance and responsiveness. Whether you’re using it for development, media streaming, or running server applications, it handles tasks much more smoothly compared to the Pi 4. The improved CPU, better I/O capabilities (including PCIe support), and enhanced overall efficiency make it a versatile choice for both hobbyists and more advanced users. It feels much closer to a true low-power desktop or mini server than ever before. That said, it does run warmer than earlier models, so proper cooling is essential to maintain performance.”
“It is the peak of Raspberry pi technology. The compromise between memory use and price is critical. I chose 4gb for that reason. It performs really good with Trixie os 64bit. Am now moving on to Opencv and better camera tech.”
“Great. Needed a second Pi - was really surprised how much they've gone up over the last 12 months or so, but PiHut remined the most affordable, and delivery was exceptional. Next day! Thank you.”
“My old Raspberry 3 Model GB has been working 24/7 as a file server for over a decade so after all this time I upgraded to a Pi 5. It's a night and day improvement in speed, USB drive access is so much faster and ethernet is also really fast.
Such a nice upgrade and I'm confident it'll continue working for a decade too. Why not get the official Pi 5 case too as that comes with a built in fan and heat sink.”
“As a novice I got it for setting up Home Assistant. I did it once the case I bought that didn't work was replaced with one that did. Problem is now I'm hooked on PI projects.”
“Pi 5, exactly as described and just an upgraded version of previous pis. Able to do a lot with 4gb memory so great for home software projects as well as hardware experimenting.”
