“The fastest version of the Pi family yet! The faster memory card interface is especially nice. I don't like that it no longer has a 3.5mm audio jack. To output separate audio, you'll need an HDMI splitter that extracts the digital audio feed and converts to analog. Not hard to do, but a bother.”
“Very pleased with the latest version of the Raspberry Pi. Having owned several V3 and v4s, the experience is noticeabley improved, with much faster speeds running my own scripts. I run the pi headless, so can't comment on desktop performance, but the performance through an SSH terminal is much faster. Only gripe is that python seems to be a little more locked down in the latest OS, making it a little harder to install modules. This probably says more about my lack of skills than anything else, but it did mean that I had to adapt how I would normally get modules via pip.”
“I received my Pi 5 months earlier than I feared. Thanks for that.
It is a cool little device. Fast as anything I need. I use it to do real-time image analysis with opencv. Tasks that were freezing my Pi4 are whipping along nicely. I have the 4G version and haven't found any reason to wish I had waited for a 8G.
PS the active cooler was easy to install and a good price for the necessary.”
