Meh. Specs get it caught up to an 8yr old laptop's specs.

I really don't know what the ideal target market is for the Raspi5. I guess it's still mostly for DIY tinkerers who want to do Linux + gpios to wire up additional devices (sensors, motors, etc). And as tech marches forward, sure, they can make it more powerful at the previous model's price point.

But if you don't care about the gpios... just get a dedicated computer that's built for reliability and real-world / enterprise use and abuse.

That being said, sourcing a good deal on a used PC from elsewhere in the world... I can see how that could be a challenge.
