Raspberry Pi5 (4GB)

I was going to give this a one star review as I couldn't get it working at all after I opened it. It turned out that there was a firmware issue that I ended up resolving with the Raspbery Pi Imager software. This isn't a hardware problem or anything, it seems that it's just something to be aware of if you use the Raspberry Pi with a NVME drive or USB boot. After getting it running, I noticed that no matter what power supply I used, it turns out this Raspberry Pi requires a 5 volt and 5 amp power supply to work properly. Again, this isn't an issue with the Pi itself, it's just something to be aware of if you're coming from a Pi 4 or 3. You'll probably need the official power supply if you don't have something sufficient.I am using the Pi5 with an Argon40 case as a media player, it supports windvine (Which allows you to play encrypted content from Netflix and other sources) but apparently doesn't support H264 hardware decording, this can lead to some extra heat but the performance is flawless.I used an NVME drive on the Pi 5 for extra speed and I have to say, this makes a huge difference from the standard MicroSD card and I believe will make for a better experience overall as it is less prone to data corruption.This Pi 5 also has a power button! At long last! The first Pi to do so I believe, it is very convenient and you'll be happy to use it rather than unplugging the power supply every time you want to restart your Pi.Over all, it's a great upgrade from the Pi 4, but it really depends on what you use it for, if it's just a music player or anything like that, then you probably won't notice a huge difference over the Pi 4. In my case, I'm watching 4K video and it has been running very well so far.
