Yeah – that’s a great idea! What surprises you about the USB2 ports?

Yeah, the Pi shortages were really widely covered, but the recovery this year hasn’t been as widely covered. However, depending on your desires, a CM4 isn’t necessarily obsolete just yet.

I’ll test out Bluetooth with my Pi 5 and get back to you on the details!

They’re putting the finishing touches on the new Bookworm OS at the moment, but I’m sure you’ll be able to team up your Pi 4s with a Pi 5. What are you using them for?

I was wondering if the Pi5 is backwards compatible and if it’s possible, I could team up my Pi4s with a Pi5, so to not have to start in the dirt to end up with something I’ll be happy owning and comfortable using will they come out with upgrades to get my Pi4 closer to the Pi5 also if you have any trade secrets you want t I hand out I’m on the lookout

I have a raspberry pi 4 8gb running twister on a 480gb ssd .Just preordered my pi 5 8gb with cooler and 5amp power supply£99 .If this was a well known software manufacturer the system would cost over £1000 just to start and then be obsolete in a couple of years time.

have they fixed the bluetooth range problem that occured on the pi4? some said it was interference. anyway my range on bluetooth on pi4 was only about 8-10feet. pi 3 it was over 30 feet.

just after lockdown kicked in I ordered a maxed our CM4, CM4 I/O board, POE hat, metal case with fan capable of holding POE hat. All arrived apart from the CM4.
A few months later I was informed that the card I had “paid” with had expired. So the CM4 became impossible to buy. OK, looks like you can get them again, just as it becomes obsolete

I’d love to see the Pi5 built into a mini Digital Audio Workstation. That PCI lane would be perfect for a low latency audio interface (though USB is amazing it still comes with a clock latency that’s by design) and enough oomph for a few software synths (though not the highest quality I imagine). Hell, the Pi could go (adequately shielded) into a housing containing the audio ports!

Lovely spec, though I’m really surprised there are still a few USB2 ports on the new model.
