We reviewed the Raspberry Pi 5 when it came out and found it fast and fun to use. It’s ideal for server use, but you can also turn it into a home media center or even use it for smart home automation. Or use it like a compact PC, which was one of its original use cases—a low-cost way to get into programming and computer science.
