Raspberry Pi 5 Announced!

Pricing is at least a bit more sensible (£46.60)

After setting the CPU to 2.8ghz and running stressberry I was wondering why the active coolers fan was not coming on.
It turns out I was a bit heavy handed when pushing the fan connector onto the header, it's a bit of an awkward angle and the far pin was squashed up against the side of the header.
A precision screwdriver helped to push it back into place and now getting 66c temps. Let's see how much more it can go.
[edit] It refused to boot at 3GHz. 2.8 seems fine enough, added an NVMe on the official hat and temps are still good (72c tops).

Would a 2gb pi 5 be better than 4gb pi4b for running kodi, I have a 4tb hdd to hook up to it with lots of family videos and pics….which would be the better bet?
Whatever is cheaper.
I run a PLEX server off a Pi 4 4GB and no issues as long as it's direct stream.

Anyone powering one of these with a power bank?
I did try it - somehow my power bank ended up melting, mostly unrelated.

Mostly?
Been told it needs to be 5a output. Wanted to make a touch screen little box to take to dialysis 4 times a weeks, only needs to power it for 4 hours at a time. Didn’t think it’ll be a problem when I ordered the pi.

I bought myself a Pi5, and one of the Pironman cases, have no use for it at all as it was bought to put Klipper on for my 3d printer, then I ended up buying a Pad7...
Will see what I can do with the Pi once I've built it into the case...

I see the Pi 500 is out.
I never really understood the need for the models with keyboard like this but I guess that's because pretty much all of my Pis are headless and something like this would be really impractical for me.

Raspberry Pi 500
Raspberry Pi 500 is a fast, powerful computer built into a high-quality keyboard, for the ultimate compact PC experience. It features the same quad-core 64-bit Arm processor and RP1 I/O controller found in Raspberry Pi 5, and 8GB RAM! With a one-piece aluminium heatsink built-in for improved...

I think these were more for the education sector - so that it's a self contained "safe" computer (as opposed to a bare PCB) whilst still having access to the GPIO breakout etc.

Also the CM5 which is more impressive imoI see the Pi 500 is out.
