Raspberry Pi 5 is the latest member of the legendary small computer family, which was released in October 2023. The Raspberry Pi Foundation released this model after several years of development and anticipation, which represents a significant improvement in both performance and functionality compared to previous generations. The new Raspberry Pi 5 aims to provide even more freedom and flexibility to those looking for an affordable yet powerful device. The other day I was lucky enough to get a model with 8 GB of RAM, so in this write-up we will go through the first unpacking and assembly of the Raspberry Pi 5, as well as the initial settings.
