Great computer, easy to assemble. Getting the official power supply is good as well, better than trying to get a supply with enough power. I have already upgraded with a higher capacity microSD card. Works well with the keyboard and mouse combo.

Kit arrived very quickly. Good to see recyclable packaging. Waiting to set it up but impressed with the simplicity of the system in terms of modules. Obvious Improvement: It would be great if the Pi5 needed a smaller power supply + 28w max is not a lot but still eats into household power costs over a year.

Awesome bit of kit, bought it to compile Arduino sketches as my i7 PC takes minutes to compile - pi does it in seconds. A very useful companion micro PC for many other reasons too.

Excellent piece of kit - the case is great but not perfect - it seems to not close very securely and it took a bit of effort to get everything aligned properly. The Pi 5 and the Power adapter are fantastic - a really good length on the power cable is much appreciated!

The kit purchased was ideal in order to start my journey with the new Pi 5. Everything needed to get up and running arrived very quickly with no real fuss. Well done to you all. My next purchase would have been the lithium battery back-up for the onboard clock. However, living in deepest darkest Scotland (not really as we have running water, electricity, High speed broadband and indeed all the DIGITAL TV channels too) would mean it was apparently prohibited to transport a single lithium battery contriband across a ficticious border. In reality, transporting to the most Southern most extremities of England would be further than my location. Whilst I apppreciate, (not understanding) the vagaries of the selected courier rules nonsense, it would be convivial to afford a unified service to the whole of the UK (United Kingdom). Sadly and needless to say, I have purchased a Chinese solution that will allow me to support this necessary feature. Yes, China. I would have suggested 10/10 but cannot award such a high accolade due to the aforementioned limitations which may be due to some mad imaginary border that doesn't actually exist as we are all part of the United Kingdom. Keep up the good work and please challenge the nonsense brigade more,in order to serve your country. Bob Alexander CEng FIET
