I find the pi4 is pretty close to being fast enough to be my daily driver. Not quite, but it's pretty close. I suspect the pi5 will meet my needs. Being able to just mount a ~$100 computer on the back of my monitor and do my work on it will be pretty mind blowing.
- bitwize 6y agoYou may wish to look into refurbished tiny-form-factor PCs for this purpose. With a relatively powerful x86 CPU it's possible to live this dream today!
- city41 6y agoOh yeah definitely, I've looked into that as well. And there are some small x86 based maker boards like the Udoo as well. How cheap cpu power and computers in general are getting is more what I'm amazed at.
- rocky1138 6y agoTake a look at the Chuwi Larkbox!
- flukus 6y agoSome of the "toy" pi laptops like the CrowPi2 (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/elecrow/crowpi2-steam-education-platformand-raspberry-pi-laptop/description https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/elecrow/crowpi2-steam-e...) are getting really close to being usable as a daily driver for me. I'd love something like that with a combination a breadboard for hacking, an SSD drive, a battery and a dock instead of the built-in toys.
