“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.”
“Quick delivery, well packaged, installing poe+ hat to reduce cables, all running well. Currently running adguard, nginx and homepage for my home media services, CPU barely touched.”
“Simply amazing. Came the next delivery day which was super quick. Set up was easy and is a nice and perfect way to play retro games at 1440p-4k res on my OLED tv. I use Batocera OS for emulation and it works perfectly. Good temps, great speeds and fantastic support for as many controllers as you can think of. Built in wifi, bluetooth the lot.
I got the 4GB model which is more than enough for my needs for retro gaming for as demanding as ps1, psp and sega saturn games.”
