“The Pi 5 is better than I expected. The 2.4GHz cpu runs at the same speed as my old GIGABYTE BRIX mini PC, yet while that was terribly laggy while web browsing the Pi 5 runs flawlessly. I was also impressed with how quickly the Pi 5 boots from the sd card, just a matter of seconds, into the official Raspberry Pi OS.
The lack of audio socket hasn't been a problem as I've had no trouble connecting to a Bluetooth mini amp. My BT keyboard also works without issue, even during login, but my BT Logitech mouse seems to disrupt the other BT devices so I'm stuck with using a wired mouse.”
“Good so far and much more powerful than previous models. Bought to make Pico development easier and after installing the SDK etc. seems as this will be the case.”
“Good little Pi, I got the 8gb version to support video playback in high resolution on a tv screen and have yet to have any problems. It’s also a surprisingly powerful little emulator if your so inclined!”
“What can I say about a Pi 5 other than they are simply the best so far! I love playing with them and experimenting with new things. I never would have got into linux without one.”
