I don't think the the Pi 5 is a replacement for a Chromebook, or it has to be a very old Chromebook, like my Samsung Chromebook Plus with Rockchip RK3399. The Pi 5 only has hardware video decoding for h265, not for VP9. That means that UKposts playback will be limited on the Pi 5.

@augustuslxiii 5 місяців тому

Still? I remember being surprised the Pi 4 couldn't handle UKposts.

It was never supposed to run as media center I presume@@augustuslxiii

Is there a mini touchscreen for the pi 5? Never had one so kinda new to this but i have one coming, tried to pre-order but was having issues placing order and wouldn't have been here till late February anyways. Sucks I had to fork over 150.00 from ebay. Oh well. Hope it's worth it, been wanting a pi for quite awhile now and have been waiting for the next gen, sure i can do something cool with it. Kali.

@perrymcclusky4695 5 місяців тому

I would suspect that it would have performed better using the Raspberry Pi OS. That seems to be the case on my Raspberry Pi 4. Impressive Raspberry Pi 5 set up you have there!

@mykandrew 5 місяців тому

Yeah I’ll have to try that too!

Hi Mike, I have been wondering about all this Raspberry Pi stuff I have been hearing about for years. I have been thinking about building a Pi thing for audio such as a streamer for a long time, but the whole idea scares me. I know nothing about programing and such. I just saw your previous video on building your streamer and it doesn't look that scary now. One just plugs this and that in and struggles with the software sadly, but after that it is done. That said, I don't like that screen. It is a great idea and I would want something like it, but without all the glitches and function problems. I would not know the difference between Raspberry versions if you beat them into me. As for a Raspberry Pi replacing my desktop PC, no chance of that. My desktop is literally a behemoth of power and speed, it is ridiculous and doesn't even have the most powerful and latest components in it. (Fully boots in 9 seconds, takes full advantage of cable internet speeds, etc.) That said though I would like a streamer like the old Logitech Squeezebox that I can hook directly into my system without dealing with Bluetooth. My Chromebook died several months ago. I still have my Android tablet, but it doesn't do audio stuff at all. I rarely use it except for setting up Alexa crap. As for Teamgroup products: I just got a couple of 256GB USB 3.1/2 sticks from them and they work very well. I have not tried any other products from them. Perhaps the unit you got just slipped through. I would think they would replace it (or Amazon will, if you got it from there).

@jeffreyplum5259 Місяць тому

I live without AC and my screens are 1080p at best. The Pi5's improved power and cooling will serve me very well. Linux video rentals are often limited to Standard Definition by Amazon or UKposts. I expect the Pi5 will serve my modest video and general computing needs very well. BTW the Chromium or Thorium open source versions of Google Chrome do better than Firefox on my Pi4s. The 8GB ram Pi4s and the Pi 400 run at 1.8 Ghz, stock. The original Pi4s with 4gig or less ram run at 1.5 Ghz, stock. I lost telephone and internet service for several days. Pi4s do not have the Pi5's battery backed up clock. My Pi4's clocks were all over the place, without access to the Internet. It showed me how nice the Pi5's clock chip would be. Installing a fan on a Pi4 is also just a bit more fiddlely, without a fan connector. Pi4 fans run off the GPIO pins, so you have to count pins and double check they are right.

@jimf5160 4 місяці тому

so, how do you fell the RPi5 will work as a secondary HTPC?

@mykandrew 4 місяці тому

I don't think it has the horsepower to perform as an HTPC.

Team group RAM has worked well for me. However, their SSD not so much. I had about 100 PCs running teamgroup sata ssd. In a year time frame, I must've replaced 15 of them.

@phatmeow7764 5 місяців тому

if you have a basic knowledge of pc assembly n if $$ is the issue just dip into the used market? just install a system light OS that meet your desktop needs and voila all done...

@ozjohnno 3 місяці тому

I have just gotten on board with the raspberry pi 5, and your wasting your time with ssd and a usb connection. I feel the best way is to run your tests again using an NVME M.2 hat and a pcie connection. With this setup and the config changes advised by Jeff geeling, my disk read is a blistering 754.66 MB (not Mb) /second. Disk writes are 439MB /sec and overall the damn is pretty darn snappy performance wise.

@ninline2000 День тому

Considering my desktop is a Raspberry Pi 4, yes. It's faster than my 2014 Macbook Air laptop but not my 12 core Xeon equipped 2012 Mac Pro. I only turn the Mac Pro on to edit video or heat my office.

Given all the recent media attention for bitcoin and it’s price spike, i’d love to see you use the PI 5 To build several different bitcoin nodes using the various software options available (cloud9, citadel - now has a new name, bitcoin core on something like desbian) and even a bitcoin miner on a raspberry pi 4 or 5 using cgminer and a couple USB miners with ASIC chips. Pulling this all together would be incredible. Especially since we can now use a Pineberry top or bottom hat to Support an NVME drive. I would owe you one if you produced this!!!

@mykandrew 5 місяців тому

I will try my best. That was my intention for my next project with this machine. ;)

@dlewis9760 4 місяці тому

Just get a previously owned S series Samsung phone and run Dex on it. With a USB dongle you can hook it up to a monitor with HDMI a keyboard and ethernet and power in. Lots of wires I will admit. But that immediately works. If you are trying to turn a Pi 5 into a desktop, chances are the pins are not what you are going for. By the time, you get a case, a power supply, a....and a ... and a there's a current multitude of Intel and AMD small form factor computers out there getting close in price. Which you can run Linux on, or Windows if you choose. I yawn at power consumption being a decent reason.

@ZazzilasArden 9 днів тому

It should be noted that Raspberry Pi OS is also Linux, and that the Raspberry Pi actually does perform better when using Raspberry Pi OS instead of Ubuntu.

@floppa9415 3 місяці тому

I find the desktop performance of the PI 5 so odd. On paper it should be about as powerful as a few year old flagship Smartphone, somewhere in between a Galaxy S9 and S10 but in practice everything feels slow, especially on my 4K screen it feels like I have a huge input delay when scrolling or flicking through the UI. I'm not sure if this is for the 100th time the GPU drivers not working 100%. Also the YT homepage on chromium takes ages. But then again, when you run artificial benchmarks you get really good numbers and if I do stuff like compile code via remote desktop things are right where I expect them to be.

@user-hd9xd2qm3s 5 місяців тому

Can you comfortably replace your PC with a Pi?? Not just a no and a yes but a straight up hell no. Raspian OS is a mess at the moment with the introduction of Wayland,Chromium hasnt worked right in at least three updates with no efforts spent to fix it and that is on Manjaro as well. I wont waste a single dollar on a new Pi. Going for the mini PC route. I know that will work out far better than the Pi route.

@jmsiener 5 місяців тому

Raspberry Pi OS is Linux.

@deanlawson6880 5 місяців тому

Yes - It's a Debian derivative, and a fairly nice Linux implementation.

@karstentopp 4 місяці тому

Yeah, we need a AMD Threadripper as a bare minimum to run a bog standard desktop and browse UKposts and Facebook. NO! Hell, I run 2015 MacBook Pros with OpenCore and MacOS Sonoma. Same with a 2012 MacBook Pro that runs Zorin Linux. I have three RPi 4b's that run full desktops and office applications fine. I even can cut some HD videos on them. You don't need an M3 silicon to run a desktop. Yes, the RPi can "only" run 1080p youtube videos, 4k isn't going to do. But, frankly, most youtube content is so bad that 720p would be too good.

@MACTEP_CHOB Місяць тому

Dude, a TV box for 50$ can run 4k60f without an issue. There is absolute zero sense to use Pi as media center. It was made for another stuff.

@LeslieLanagan Місяць тому

I have a much faster computer than a pi, and loading snaps lags. Same with flatpak. You can also squeeze a little more life out of it by using Cinnamon or MATE as a desktop environment, because they're a little less resource-intensive. Cinnamon looks like Windows XP, sort of.... and MATE looks like Windows 95. Cinnamon is the easier of the two for newbies in terms of knowing how to add desktop icons, etc.

Omg ! Are you sure you are doing a real review? Did you use wired Ethernet? So you just decided the pi 5 is a no go because you based it on just Firefox ? First go to your pi5 connect it to Ethernet, then go to your router and set it as high priority, then reboot your pi 5, then launch chromium not Firefox, and set UKposts video quality to 480p, 720p or 1080p depending on your internet speed. Enjoy !! You are welcome !!?

Any old Samsung with Dex will outperform this overhyped garbage. And you`ll save on electrical bill. It was born dead. 16nm in 2023 ? Are you kidding me. If you need GPIO, get a Pi3 from 2nd hand market. Much more valuable for projects.
