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.

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?

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.
