Thoughts on the Pi 5:
- Plus for exposing a PCIe connection, but kinda wonder why there isn't like an M.2 connector instead for that like some other SBCs have
- New SoC is faster, though needing active cooling may be a challenge
- Using 5V/5A for power is a bit silly, why not use higher voltages for that since most third party USB-PD adapters still only provide 3A for 5V and require higher voltages for more wattage
- Price does seem to creep into the used mini PC territory

@mikoto it already creeped into used mini pc territory when you added a fan, storage and case

@mikoto and yeah i think that 5v/5a requirement should be a disqualification

@mikoto yeah bare rpi5 4gb costs the same amount as my elitedesk 800 g3 with 8 gigs and 256gb nvme drive

@jeder yeah needing to buy a new power adapter to properly run one is not great
