Raspberry Pi 5

I got some Pi4's over the summer so I'll wait before I get a Pi5.

I want to get the CM5 but so far no announcement as to when it'll come out.

I have a RPi5 8GB on backorder to replace my RPi4 4GB that I use as an open desktop.

An RTC and PCIe 2.0 are nice additions. SSD experience with the VL805 wasn't great especially if you plug in another device.

Be careful about updating retropi from the program itself. Something about it not being supported. I?ve had one for a few years now, when I tried to update it, I was unable to do.

I have an 8gb and 4gb on back order. Estimated ship date was late November. I bought 2 so one can pay for the other.

Yeah never do that. Just go download a newer updated image.

As indicated in another post Micro Center got a bunch in today. I picked up a version 4 8G. I was pleased with that. I hate mail order.

The Pi 4 has been great as an Internet Web server. Also works very well as a DNS and email server. I have internal and external DNS on Pi 4's, and one of my active-active-failover DHCP servers is running on a Pi 3. Pis rock as small servers.

The Pi 4 was the first Pi that was actually reasonably useable as a daily driver desktop, with an overclock to 1.8 GHz, for what most people use a computer for. Power users, it wasn't there yet.

The Pi 5 should really do the trick, though, with its increased power. It does use more power, though, as a trade-off. But it should easily mount to the back of any LCD screen, thus making a very nice compact system. Again, power users like video editors or those doing heavy source-code compilations will need an AMD Ryzen or Intel Core. But most people aren't power users, so it would serve them well.
