Reviews of Raspberry Pi 5

My Pi was delivered 4-5 days earlier than expected. The device is excellent and I look forward to doing interesting things with it.

My pi five5 give me da high five5

Arrived as described.

it came quick and easy (5 days after purchase during christmas rush)

I ordered a Raspberry Pi5 online but the webstore was not supposed to accept orders due to significant back order lead times for the 8gb model with the OEM. Ok with this, I called the team only to check the approximate ETA. The guy I spoke with somehow knew 1 or 2 x RPi5's may be available for emergencies that aren't showing in the system. Rather than make excuses for the webstore issue (should've inactivated the 'add to cart' button) and apologising that I'd have to wait - he popped me on hold very briefly to get onto the warehouse, then returned less than a minute later saying my order would be dispatched within the next hour or two! All that just days after the Dec 25 memory chip price rises and global supply shortage no less. I was in no way expecting that outcome and he absolutely didn't have to take that course of action yet sorted me on the spot. What a champion, thanks so much to you and the team!!

Everything arrived as expected and early. Love the service from Little Bird.

The order came through very rapidly from order to arrival... ...but since then the Pi5 has been sitting in the box waiting for me to setup and play around with the also enclosed Pi4. Mind you, I would like to see a silent heatsink available for it as clearly the Pi4 heatsink that I ordered for that one won't fit.

Little Bird gets your Pi to you FAST! Super Sonic Pi! I bought a 16GB RPi5 this time...and won the silicon lottery and got one that happily over-clocks to 3.0GHz and still runs like a dream. I've none-the-less dialed it back down to 2.6GHz for use with the Hailo 8L in my Pironman 5 Max system. Very happy with this RPi5 SBC. :-)

A+

I got the raspberry pi 5 because i am moving away from proprietary technology and self hosting media and the last device i was using was the google tv 4k, i turned this into a media center to replace that with LibreELEC/Kodi running linux, no issues with the Raspberry pi 5 or the Active cooler aswell and keeps it around 50c. I can play all 1080p h.264 HEVC or vp9, anything 4k 60fps like vp9 or HEVC it does start to struggle but i am not watching any of that type of videos. With the microHDMI to HDMI on a 4k tv I was only able to do 4k 30fps while the Google tv 4k could do 4k 60, but the Raspberry Pi 5 allowed me to use 1080p 120fps which i like a lot Overall i am happy with this and this store shipped it quickly from NSW to Vic within 3 days with normal shipping.
