I forgot to mention my Logitech mouse/keyboard it works great with all single board computers. Link below

Solid advice. I hope case makers take advantage of the PCIe port. So much potential there.

Thank you for taking the time to make this informative video!

Looking forward to browsing your vids

Planning on building something silly with mine. Only drawback with the uptick in performance is it will be a battery-guzzler, so something like a robot would need to be on the larger side.

Wow. Someone let the trolls out from under the bridge today. Yes, Orange Pi is great and if it does everything that you need, good for you. I want Retro Pie and just got it recently. Need a HAT? Good luck. Need help? You might get it. You might not. Ebon Upton had a painful choice to make. He had only so many boards. If you or I didn't get one, we were disappointed. If a business relying on supply didn't get one, they could go bankrupt and a whole lot of people could suffer. Are we going to continue to beat this man up forever over something that he couldn't control?

I have been using Pi4 for some times already. I still appreciate very much your valuable recommendations about how to equip the Raspberry Pi 5! I am also thinking of trying out the Pi 5, maybe holding on a little bit longer in order to get more buying options.

Please do a video on what is available to connect to the Pi 5 UART connector. I'd love to find a Serial level converter with a DB-9

My home Observium and Zabbix are running on PI4 2GB with boot from SSD over USB. Perfect for the purpose.

I must say that I am genuinely impressed with the Pi Foundation.

I wasn't rushing to get a Pi 5 (because I don't really need one yet) but then I got an email from The MagPi magazine a few weeks ago telling me that as a subscriber, a Pi 5 had been reserved for me if I wanted to order it.

So I did and it has arrived today! The complete package - Pi 5, fan, case and power supply, and still a week left before "the end of October" as Eben had suggested.

I bought an orange pi 5b a few months ago for a roving offgrid android streaming centre for caravan use. It is great but the software support is nowhere compared to rpi, it does what I want but I do not see it as anything other than what I bought it for. An rpi can be virtually anything due to the massive soft and hardware community support. Great hardware needs great os and software to shine

[iblackfeathers]

still a lot of waiting to do after the pi 5 is in our hands because of a proper case. in my case i am waiting for a proper argon case with m.2 taking advantage of the pci bus to use as a server. until then it’s micro sd cards and probably usb drives for the os.

[Jack_Warner]

I use my Pi 4 as a web server. It's running ubuntu server and it is very fast. A server doesn't need much in the way of top range hardware, so I doubt if I'll get the Pi 5 until this one blows up.

My "press kit" came with almost everything New PSU, fan heat sink, case, stickers (WTF?), microSD (haven't used one for 3 years), reader, HDMI cables.

[cornchipz]

Is the GPIO pinout the same as older Pi's? I saw a short on YouTube of somebody having issues powering a portable screen using the GPIO pins, but I'm thinking they had an underpowered power box

[rosshannemann]

Used pi4 running bookworm to copy bookworm which is now running on pi zero 2w . Cool copy feature

[farisomeragic]

Give us please video for saturn emulation and more. I have waited today for emulation video, but nothing...

[PaulGrayUK]

How fast is the GPIO on the RPi5 vs RPi4?

[michaelcloutier]

There are two header pin spots just there next to MIPI connectors that you can get Composit Video and there is a way to wire up audio directly to the GPIO pins I have heard but have not found yet.

[mediocreman]

It happened. I finally replaced my aging PC by a system that, besides being able to function as a desktop computer, be basically one thing: Quiet. The Pi4 could be made quiet, but did not yet cut it as a desktop computer, but my current system, on which I am writing this comment, a Pi5 with an Argon One V3 case, does. And then some. And now, half a year after the publishing of this video, everything matured. I can only recommend it.

Excellent - just what I need! Starting from absolute scatch with a 5 and official psu but no experience whatsoever (eek!)
