It looks like a big improvement over the 4 but sadly needs active cooling or it throttles under load quickly. It has a new form factor which requires a new case too. Still there are a lot of great additions that make it a good upgrade.

    I am but it’s a bit too much money for “just because”.

    I’m on the same boat. I have a RPi4 that I briefly used as a personal computer, and even though I’d love to get a RPi5 I’m struggling to justify it. It sounds like it’s around €100 for a 8GB version (board+case+power supply) and that’s already in x86 MiniPC territory.
