Good projects for it
Local-LLM and small-model AI inference, robotics control, retro-gaming, low-power desktop replacement, home-automation hub, and Pi-based NAS or media server when paired with an NVMe HAT.
Notes on power
The Pi 5 draws more power than its predecessors. The 27 W official USB-C PSU is recommended — under-powered supplies will throttle the board or refuse to enable USB peripherals.
What's in the box
Raspberry Pi 5 board only. Power supply, microSD card, and case sold separately.
