“Super fast compared to the 4 which was no slouch.
Really awesome. Not a fan of the micro hdmi, but understand why they had to put it in.
Faster micros sd is pretty awesome too.”
“Runs a bit hotter than pi4, but that's because the mouse inside is having to run much faster to provide more speed. I was impressed by pi4 but the speed of things like package install is very pleasing. I think I'm at the point of dropping my (hobbyist) hosted server, as pi5 seems to be doing everything I need. Pi4 running apache was a bit slow generating PDFs, Pi5 flies through tasks like that.”
“An amazing micro computer with gpio so can be used for anything from a home automation server or NAS down to directly attaching, say, a moisture sensor to alert when a plant needs watering.”
“A worthwhile upgrade. Certainly faster than previous versions and well capable of running normal desktop applications. The on/off switch is a welcome addition, time will tell how long it lasts.”
“Exceptional Performance and Versatility
It has truly exceeded my expectations. The upgraded hardware specifications of the Raspberry Pi 5, including a faster processor, increased RAM, and enhanced graphics capabilities, contribute to a significant boost in overall performance. The 4K video support enhances its multimedia capabilities, making it an excellent choice for projects requiring high-resolution video output.”
