Na it’s too slow.

I got one and I don’t touch it. I do also have an orange pi 5 and khandas edge 2 pro. Both are miles ahead of the rpi4 and based on specs they are miles ahead of the rpi5.

In actual real benchmarking OPi5 is about the same as RPi5.

[throwaway2990]

You’re joking right? It’s half the performance of the opi5…

The Pi 5 seems to be pretty head-to-head with the OPie 5: https://www.phoronix.com/review/raspberry-pi-5-benchmarks/3

Are your other microcomputers capable of normal office operation?

[throwaway2990]

100%.

I use them for development. One has ubuntu installed and the other Fedora.

Interesting. Can you give more details on your work? I've been on the edge lately over picking a desktop, an intel NUC or something like a Pi. Price to performance and power draw is something I'm considering.

Both I run JetBrains IDEs on both to do c++, rust, and .net work. One device is for work and one for personal.

Same here. A great advantage of such devices is they can later be easily repurposed to control home automation, audio system or make a simple DIY project with them. It is much harder with other types of hardware, like a laptop for example.
