I'm definitely learning some things today. Geerling's video[1] low-key sells the merits of the Rock 5B, which performs even better, though it's more expensive.
Geerling reviews that device here[2] and compares it to the RPi 4 back in February.
I was excited about the Pi 5 yesterday. And now more information has just left me uncertain. I think I need even more information.
Apparently there will be an M.2 NVMe hat in early 2024[3] so I guess that has to be factored into the price calculations for an RPi5.
