“What can I say? The device was quickly delievered so there everything was fine. The product itself is a Raspberry Pi 5 4GB, I'll be using it with docker for different selfhosted services and Home Assistant. The updated Version 5 of the RPi it is easily possible to host a bunch of services at home.”
“I run KODI on my new Raspberry Pi 5 with surprisingly excellent 4K video quality, much better than its predecessor Raspberry Pi 4 which I am going to sell it. However, I like that standard hdmi rather than the micro hdmi on Pi 4 and Pi 5 which require buying a special hdmi cable with a much smaller and fragile head (that I broke twice) for it. Overall performance makes not much difference for my application apart from the video quality improvement, which means that the price dropping Pi 5 predecessors are still good investment if you are not looking for video and computationally intensive applications. I brought the Pi 5 from PIMORONI a month ago before they put a sale of 10% discount for it. Did they price it too much initially or buyers now have more substitute options is something that I don't know. But what I do know is that I paid 10% too much for it.”
“When this arrived in the mail, I'd forgotten I'd bought it making for a very good suprise. Pretty much all the features missing from the 4 have been added here.”
