“Very capable little machine!
I've had most a few incarnations of the pi now, and they're all good. Loving the extra power (compared to the previous versions) and I can just about do everything I need to do with the 2GB version, so no need to upgrade to larger memory (for now at least).”
“In my opinion, the 2GB version of the Pi 5 has the perfect balance of price, compatibility and features. I have one running a home assistant server and another as a decoration piece running shaders on a HyperPixel 4.0 display. You don't need more RAM than 2GB for most applications. Also the CPU and GPU performance compared to Pi 4 is so much better, that for my use cases the older model is not worth the discounted price.”
“Compared to previous versions, this one is more powerful and works perfectly, Uning it as a linux box to program a Lego mindstorm unit, it is quick in compilation and I have not issue with it.”
“This is a fantastic computer. Compared to the pi 4 it is much faster and the power consumption doesn't seem that great so it's cheap to run. Raspberry pi continue to innovate and this is definitely a computer you can use instead of a pc.”
