“The 16GB version with a virtual machine replaced 3 power-guzzling servers at my house. Buying here was amazing as the first one did not function as expected (not their fault) and they organised an easy replacement for me. Many thanks! :)”
“I’ve been using the Raspberry Pi 5 (16GB) for development, home lab testing, and light server workloads, and honestly it exceeded my expectations.
The jump in performance compared to the Pi 4 is huge. Boot times are fast, multitasking is smooth, and the 16GB RAM version makes a real difference if you’re running Docker containers, databases, VS Code, or even using it as a mini development machine.
Thermal performance is good when paired with the official case and fan. CPU performance feels closer to a low-end desktop rather than a traditional microcomputer.
What I liked most:
• Extremely fast for its size
• 16GB RAM allows serious multitasking
• Perfect for home server, coding, IoT, or automation
• Stable with Raspberry Pi OS and Ubuntu
• Dual monitor support works flawlessly
Things to consider:
• You must use proper cooling
• Requires the official 27W PSU for full performance
• Accessories can increase total cost
Overall, this is the most powerful Raspberry Pi ever released and easily capable of running serious projects. Highly recommended for developers and tech enthusiasts.”
