            I've got half a dozen SBCs (decommissioned two recently though). And a similar number of really tiny PCs. Very different use cases.

    If i buy one of these things, will it help block/minimise spam on the computer? I googled it and was overwhelmed by all the info and tech lingo

    • netsurfer on 28/09/2023 - 19:18

      It won't. I can still spam your e-mail accounts, attempt to trick you to open e-mail attachments with viruses.

      Pi is generally used for the following purposes:
      - Home automation
      - Ad blocking
      - 3D printing
      - Simple coding

      While you could use it as a NAS, Plex or basic game emulation, people will tell you that there are far better options for those tasks.

      It's a tiny little low power computer. It can do anything you want it to do. But out of the box it has nothing to do with your PC.

      The audio quality on the Pi4 from the jack was so noisy and awful, I don't think many will miss it.

  • Bii on 28/09/2023 - 20:11

    5V 5A 27W

    Should it be 5V 6A 27W?

    Also, it said to be out on 23 Oct at $60/$80 for 4GB/8GB. So, I think the 8GB will be around AUD130 when available in Australia.

    Holy crap 5V 5A PD - That means unless you use a 5V/5A charger specifically for Pi 5, you'll have to use 100W PD charger on the market to fully power this thing because of the amperage requirement (there's rarely 25W 5V/5A, mostly 5A support from 100W 5-20V/5A) - Oh BTW most PD chargers supports 100W+ outputs actually cap its 5V rail to 3A output anyway because no person with right mind would run a 5V gadget on 5A, literally sounds like a fire hazard.

    FYI the only PD adapter with 5A rail on 5V output I can recall immediately is… none!

    US$60 starting price and the general availability will likely to be a joke as well after pre-order. Mate RPi are no longer what they used to be about a decade years ago…

    • flubba86 on 28/09/2023 - 22:29
      +2

      Yeah, I think they've got a typo in the power requirement specs there. USB PD was invented specifically so we can avoid trying to throw 5A down a cheap USB cable. I think the 27W is correct, and the onboard PD chip should be able to negotiate with the charger whichever voltage/amp combo will be able to deliver that wattage, which is most likely 9V 3A.

      • TeddyBear on 29/09/2023 - 00:21

        If anyone has a datasheet for the charging chip let me know.

        Here's a close up shot of the model number.

      • Namidairo on 29/09/2023 - 00:45
        +3

        It's not a typo.

        There's a whole paragraph in the announcement explaining why.

        When using a standard 5V, 3A (15W) USB-C power adapter with Raspberry Pi 5, by default we must limit downstream USB current to 600mA to ensure that we have sufficient margin to support these workloads. This is lower than the 1.2A limit on Raspberry Pi 4, though generally still sufficient to drive mice, keyboards, and other low‑power peripherals.

        For users who wish to drive high-power peripherals like hard drives and SSDs while retaining margin for peak workloads, we are offering a $12 USB-C power adapter which supports a 5V, 5A (25W) operating mode.

        It'll run fine on a 15W adapter unless you need high draw on the usb ports. External drives perhaps?

        5V 5A is allowed in USB PD, it's just exceeding rare to see it implemented in a charger. I'll note that the official charger also has a non-removable cable in order to eliminate the risk of anyone plugging in a less than great cable that somehow has a e-mark chip still.

        They’ve specifically said it doesn’t support any modes >5v. I’m guessing they’ve done this to avoid the need for a buck converter on the board, either for cost or heat (or both) reasons I assume.

    Why would you use raspberry pi in this day and age whe you can snatch a used micro hp elitdesk like this?

      • HungryRussian on 28/09/2023 - 21:15

        So I understand pi can be powered by powerbank when offgrid and slightly smaller form factor. Low price is no longer a selling point for this "pivot". cheers for the link.
        Imho pi a bit of a joke for that price, but time will tell.

    • Budju on 28/09/2023 - 21:13

      I think a better question is why would you go a Pi when cheap N95 and N100 Intel 7 mini PCs are already on the market and blow it out of the water. I feel like Pi will fade into obscurity soon as far as most hobbyists are concerned.

      Why would you use raspberry pi in this day and age

      Genuine answer: Lots of deployments where the size makes a big difference (e.g. embedding this into other machinery), you don't need the extra power (e.g. always up DNS or VPN servers), home automation, remote sensors.

      Anyone who's using a Pi would already have machines that run VMs, but might not want to have spinning fans going 24x7 or chunkier cases that don't deal well with dust and heat.

      • yellowrhino93 on 29/09/2023 - 09:59

        This^ I have other deployments but segregation for dedicated tasks, IO and having other stuff running loudly/annoyingly when I can use a pi is a massive use case

    • chromium on 29/09/2023 - 16:20

      Is one of those going to fit inside my Amiga 500 like a 3A+ does? Does it have GPIO pins to interface with a hat that can connect to the CPU socket of said Amiga 500? Likewise with my 1541Pi, RGB-Pi, MT-32Pi.

      People use these things for more than Linux servers you know. Who would have thought people have different use cases to you. It's a wide world out there

      • HungryRussian on 30/09/2023 - 05:35

        Thanks, this post opened my eyes on the Pi crew

  • AustriaBargain on 29/09/2023 - 05:11

    Layout changed, so old cases won’t work. And you’ll want a case if it runs as hot as Pi 4.

    • DmytroP on 29/09/2023 - 10:19

      It runs slightly hotter

  • whitepuma on 29/09/2023 - 08:55

    Before buying a RPI really think about your use case

    If for your use case you just need a small low power PC I recommend getting a reconditioned SFF PC. These things are getting really cheap (even under $100 delivered), more powerful, already have cooling/case all sorted, come with a PSU, usually come with storage, and ofcourse have more software & OS options available.

    • AustriaBargain on 29/09/2023 - 10:35

      I've used it for self booting digital signage on regular TVs. Only issue is it's not exactly cheap to get a Pi 4 4GB with a heat sink case. But it does reliably self boot and phone home. But the cost and bother, probably better off paying for Samsung TVs with the software built in.

      • whitepuma on 29/09/2023 - 13:01

        Yeah, like i said though, you can usually achieve all of that with a SFF.

        Don't get me wrong, if you have very specific limitations, such as the raspberry pi size/form factor, or requirement to use the pins then it makes sense to use a RPI. But as you said, when factoring in all the other costs for a RPI (Case, Heatsink/fan/cooling, PSU, SD card), you're up above the price of a decent refurbished SFF PC that can do more.

        • AustriaBargain on 29/09/2023 - 13:16

          Can it boot straight into a video even after sudden power outage, and has anyone made a service that lets you manage and schedule the videos?

    • Jimbuscus on 29/09/2023 - 12:28

      SFF is a bit large for comparison, a mini/nuc is more comparable.

      • whitepuma on 29/09/2023 - 12:58

        Mini/nuc's all fall under the category of SFF, SFF is usually anything 25L or less, at least according to intel

        • Jimbuscus on 29/09/2023 - 13:18

          SFF has become used for PC's that fit a Low Profile GPU, tiny/Mini's are appropriate for the usexase of RPi.

          • whitepuma on 29/09/2023 - 13:23

            @Jimbuscus: Although SFF is used for PC's that fit a low profile GPU, it's not only for that…Ask anybody that's done procurement in the tech part of a business. All these NUC's etc get categorised under SFF.

            As mentioned, if you are unsure, check the intel link i provided on my previous comment. No offence, but when it comes to categorizing & defining PC's i trust Intel over someone on ozbargain.

    In process to use stepper motors. Perhaps build a 3d printer or something else. Also just ordered ardunio.
    Wondering if I go with rpi5 if building a printer or hold off until all bugs been sorted. Tried to build Openscan but realized after a while they put project on hold and hardly any support.
