8 Reasons to Upgrade to a Raspberry Pi 5, Project by Project #piday #raspberrypi
Not that anyone needs convincing but here are some compelling reasons to upgrade your setup with a Pi 5. You’ll still need to act quick to snag one but availability is up compared to the Pi 4 over the past years.
The beefier power lends to better gaming, machine learning, media streaming, and beyond!
With a far more capable processor and a bunch of extra features, the Raspberry Pi 5 offers far more power than previous models. Let’s take a look at reasons to upgrade to a Pi 5, project by project.

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.

Rpi5 IS a downsized nuc… So No need to Change Setup to rpi5 If there are better solutions available.
If Setup requires rpi, rpi4 and even rpi3 are best suited for.

Number 1 should be learning the art of patience because you’ll wait for 4 months on back order before you get one!
