After more than a month of using the Raspberry Pi 5 as a desktop computer Abhishek Prakash shared his thoughts on itsfoss
It’s been several months since Raspberry Pi 5 was first released. I wanted to try it then but getting the latest version of Raspberry Pi has always been tricky.
So, I shared this problem with Raspberry Pi folks and they were kind enough to send me one.
But I didn’t start writing a review immediately. I prefer using the devices for a considerable time before sharing my opinion on it.
And I wanted to use the device as a regular desktop for some time. I mean the Raspberry Pi is not necessarily a low-end device anymore. So why not use it as your regular PC?
Here’s what I feel about using Pi 5 as a regular computer for the past two months.

I’m using Rpi400 for a desktop computer, for lightweight tasks like orc, web browsing and coding. For tough tasks I ssh from there to my server that has 8GB ram and a stronger processor.
Overall rpi400 and I’m sure even better rpi500 are great because they’re also portable (as long as you’re have a free monitor waiting for you).
