Our take on the Raspberry Pi 5 2GB

The Raspberry Pi 5 2GB is the entry model of the Pi 5 line: a quad-core ARM board at 2.4 GHz with Wi-Fi 5, Bluetooth 5.0, two micro-HDMI ports, four USB-A ports and a PCIe connector. The 2GB of RAM is the point of this version: it runs the same software as the 4GB and 8GB boards but costs less and draws less, and it is the cheapest way into Pi 5 speed. Reviewers rate the Pi 5 line highly for its big jump over the Pi 4, and owners say 2GB is enough for light desktops, servers and retro gaming, though heavy browser use or big builds want more memory.

Questions and answers

Is 2GB of RAM enough?
For a light desktop, a home server, Pi-hole or retro gaming, yes. For many browser tabs, large compiles or running containers, choose the 4GB or 8GB model.
How is it different from the 4GB and 8GB models?
Only the RAM differs. The processor, ports, Wi-Fi and PCIe connector are the same across the Pi 5 line.
What do I need to get started?
A microSD card with the OS image, a 5V/5A USB-C power supply, a micro-HDMI cable and a case. A cooler is worth adding.
Does it need a special power supply?
Yes. Use a 5V/5A USB-C supply to get full performance and power for USB devices. A weaker charger can throttle it.
Can it run a desktop and games?
It runs a full Linux desktop and handles retro emulation well. Modern 3D games are not its target.
Does it have Wi-Fi and Bluetooth?
Yes. Wi-Fi 5 and Bluetooth 5.0 are built in, so no dongle is needed.
