Active cooling is not an option for me. I use RPI exactly for the reason it does not require active cooling.

At 27W that is a strong pass vs a NUC. If I go with a low power x86 NUC, I can run all software on it, and probably insert a SSD + additional RAM, for probably ~15W.
That'll be peak power draw though: you have to spec the standard power supply to cope with the CPU running @ 100% & simultaneously feeding the 1G ethernet and all the USB ports at max power. Jeff Geerling measured 11W peak board power running benchmarks. Idle power was measured at 1.8W. They claim it will draw less power than the Pi4 for the same workloads.

#373Rasbperry Pis are losing their competitive edge for non-embedded applications to sub $150 mini PCs, which support Linux/Windows and will come with enclosure, NVMe slot, power button etc. The mini PCs are also generally much faster.
Where can I find these mini PCs? I am trying to find hardware for an upcoming project and I’m considering the Pi but would love to see some alternatives.
TopTon is a fairly popular brand on AliExpress for these PCs, they come in nice fanless enclosures, support 2.5gbit ethernet, etc.

But it says that active cooling is only necessary for heavy workload, if you're fine with that then no fan required.

Did you read the blog post? :) "One of the most exciting additions to the Raspberry Pi 5 feature set is the single-lane PCI Express 2.0 interface. Intended to support fast peripherals, it is exposed on a 16-pin, 0.5mm pitch FPC connector on the left-hand side of the board. From early 2024, we will be offering a pair of mechanical adapter boards which convert between this connector and a subset of the M.2 standard, al…

Re: Raspberry Pi 5
#377I question whether it's wise to launch a new product before the supply chain issues which have plagued Raspberry Pi for years have been fully resolved.
Granted, the situation has improved slightly over the past few months. But you will still find Pi 4s out of stock more often than not.
The CEO said last year not to expect a Pi 5 in 2023, because they wanted to take the time to recover. Why the u-turn?

Re: Raspberry Pi 5
#378anyone could tell me how did you use raspberry pi?
It conttrols sensors in my desk drawers and notifies me when I have space to buy more Raspberry Pis.
This _does_ describe a specific class of ANTESACH (Absurd Nerd Tinkerer Enjoys Sensors And Cheap Hardware).
Thank you for the laugh.

It may be that whatever is currently bottlenecking RPi4 production isn't relevant to RPi5.

#380“Raspberry Pi Active Cooler”
Id like a low power model too please. Also a m.2 slot, even sata would be much better than the sd cards.
