Raspberry Pi 5 (16GB)

Really good product. Works great and does exactly what I needed. Easy to set up and runs smoothly. Definitely great value for what I paid. Very satisfied with the purchase.

I’m completely new to the Raspberry Pi world, and as a first-time user who had never touched one before, there are several points worth mentioning. The box it comes in is poor—an ultra thin cardboard that provides no real protection; just a small, hollow, flimsy box with the board inside, and it didn’t even include an anti-static bag. I feel it should come in a more rigid and secure packaging. When I powered it on inside the Pironman 5 Max case, everything ran smoothly. It was easy to set up, and I reached the desktop quickly. That said, the hardware is extremely delicate. Anything installed incorrectly can cause a lot of problems. I had to reinstall the operating system because I couldn’t find a way to fix the issues it caused. It works perfectly for retro games, basic browsing, and typical computer use—just more limited in almost every aspect. It’s definitely powerful and viable for DIY projects, and even if you want to use it for more serious tasks, it’s reliable as long as you take good care of the entire system. Recommended.

I've been using the Raspberry Pi (RPi) for a long time, since 2016, so I've seen the evolution of the product line. I've been impressed with them for certain things since I started using them, and each time it's had a new version release I've liked the direction they've been headed. The RPi 5 has been no exception to this. I've got a 4GB version and and 8GB version. Frankly, the 8GB version is powerful enough that many people could replace their old Windows 10 PCs with it. I use that one on a 4k TV for web browsing and document editing when my wife and I need to work on something together, and it's got plenty of speed. I've been playing with this 16GB version at work and been really, REALLY happy with it. I've been wanting to just go hog-wild on an RPi build for a while, and I just had a little win fall come my way, so I pulled the trigger. I got a crazy-expensive (but super-cool) case that moves the side ports to the end of the build with the USB and ethernet ports and includes an NVMe SSD adapter, extra fans, and RGB LEDs that are programable. I really splurged on the SSD and installed a full 1TB. I'm going to experiment with this one to see if it's actually powerful enough with the extra RAM to do some basic audio engineering (I am a sound engineer). If it is, I'll use it for that. Either way, I'll also use it as a portable media server, too. I'm going to see just how far I can push this thing and see if it will work as a video editing system, as well. I have friends that make YouTube videos, and if this is a viable option as an editing system, it would make a phenomenal portable alternative to a laptop. I'll report back after I've pushed it.

It's a raspberry Pi 5 16MB. Expensive: check (once you add NVME etc, NUC PC prices are similar) Overkill for many applications: check. From a company that doesn't care about its users, and proved it all along during covid only selling to industry contracts and nothing to the users who made them? check again. Yet, it's a great little device. It works, has tons of support... I run one for Home Assistant with a Pimoroni nvme board and a 1TB cheap NVME. Similar for a Voron 2.4 printer (not a great idea as USB webcams and Klipper don't do that well on the Pi5, a Pi4 or Pi3 is better for that application). I've had many Pi from 1 to 5, and if you don't want to waste time, these work. Recommendation: do not pay more than MSRP, you can always find these.

This is a fantastic little computer! It was super simple to set up and use. The speed is so much faster than our old RPi computers. Everything works as it should and everything we needed came in the package.

I've been working with Raspberry Pi's since they first came out and the RPi 5 with a SSD finally approaches a standard desktop for speed and computational power. Raspbian Trixie plus Visual Studio Code make a fine development platform. I've moved all my Pico development from Windows 10 to the RPi 5. It's also the case that the graphics hardware on the RPi 5 can support *two* 5120x1440 monitors. This matches or exceeds the best available on a traditional PC. They've gotten a little pricey what with AI gobbling up all the RAM but it's worth it.

Secure excellent packaging for the Pi and the CanaKit 45W plug-in is extremely versatile and ability to power projects that require it. The build quality of Raspberry Pis is always phenomenal, made in the UK. Setting up is easy, I use the Pi cooling fans and heats inks and my other units in Argon cases keep it cool and noise is minimal. You can do so many different things with a Pi. Although sometimes you get hardware that is DOA but that's just part of building your own hardware. But with all the other hardware and software configurations, the potential to do so much with these little units is incredible. literally the size of credit cards! I'll be back to update after I set it up with my Hailo for update.

Had to wait almost a month to get it! There must be a shortage on the 16GB version. The box that it came in was not sealed and had been opened before. I'm not sure if it was a returned item. So far, I haven't found anything wrong with it. It appears to be working properly. It's a cool little Linux machine! It's great for learning Linux! I recommend this product!

Woaw, nu kan man börja jobba på riktigt Nästa uppgradering borde vara fler kärnor i CPUn

Excellent product, good design with vast amount of open-source support and a global user community. Dispatched quickly and well packaged.

I’m really impressed with the Raspberry Pi 5! It works like a charm. I’m using it for programming in both JavaScript and Java, and I opted for the Ubuntu version. Everything runs smoothly, and performance is excellent. Overall, I’m very pleased with this purchase and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable, versatile mini-computer.

Aplicando em um projeto de Robótica.

Ik heb de Raspberry Pi 5 aangeschaft om een compacte besturing te bouwen voor de OpenPnP-software, waarmee ik mijn LumenPnP-machine aanstuur. Eerlijk gezegd had ik mijn twijfels of het board wel krachtig genoeg zou zijn voor deze toepassing, maar het tegendeel is bewezen: de Pi 5 draait alles vlekkeloos en met ruim voldoende snelheid. Zeer tevreden met deze aankoop!
