The Pi 5 is much quicker than the Pi4 (an increase of approx. 3x raw speed and data throughput) and just as easy to use and work with. Outstanding effort by ThePiHut to have it shipped and delivered a few days before Christmas. The high level of service and customer satisfaction is why I keep returning to ThePiHut again and again. Thank you very much indeed. Happy New Year!

It is basically just an upgrade from the Pi 4 I have already and am very happy with. Only four issues I can think of, and my comments on them. No line out socket - but I plugged in a USB sound card and now have both line in and line out. Obviously you can also use bluetooth too. My monitor has hdmi but no speakers. Same fixes as for the Pi 4 - use a buetooth speaker or headphones. The really nice cases are advertised at very good prices now, but not when I ordered my Pi. I will end up having nice case and two heat sinks I will not need when I buy the nice case. Raspbian works well with both 4 and 5, but you have to install Gnome over the LXDE desktop version. Installing on the command line version did not work for me because I could not get the x versions of the desktop appear in the list of desktops Other operating systems for Pi 4 don't work on Pi 5. And I had a problem with Armbian and Ubuntu on the Pi 5 I am still working on fixing.

Arrived earlier than expected, which was a bonus. Well packed to protect the contents. Very quick and easy to setup what I needed - a headless operation and Pi Hole. Both a working very well indeed. Raspberry Pi 5 is very quick indeed - almost equally my x86 desktop.

Faster but much hotter than rpi4. Really requires active cooling, sadly. None of my power supplies would give the required power - including beefy and new chargers like the one for new macbook pro. 5A at 5V is not commonly supported. So to anyone else buying this who also thinks "surely one of mine will work", you might want to add the official charger to your order.

I recently purchased the Raspberry Pi 5 and couldn't be more thrilled with my experience. First and foremost, the delivery was impressively quick, allowing me to dive into my projects sooner than expected. The performance of the Raspberry Pi 5 exceeded my expectations, clearly surpassing its predecessor. Overall, the Raspberry Pi 5 is a fantastic upgrade for anyone looking to explore the world of computing and DIY projects. Its combination of speed, versatility, and user-friendly design makes it a perfect choice for enthusiasts and professionals alike. I highly recommend the Raspberry Pi 5 to anyone seeking a reliable and powerful tool for their tinkering endeavours. Personally I will be using it as a 24/7 Minecraft server and so far it has been perfect.
