A Raspberry Pi 5 is better than two Pi 4S

I think it’s great to have more cpu. My kids built a Minecraft server on a 4S and it doesn’t perform that well.

The small form factor is really convenient for turning on and off.

Pis are designed for the edge case and that allows them to sit in drawers. If you design for the median only, then you’ll never get to median because people won’t be able to run and test the edge cases.

For things like that the Rock boards are much much more powerful.

Of course as you go up costs rise and eventually you might as well buy a Mac mini or similar.

Yes, there’s obviously more powerful computers for running a Minecraft server.

But pis are easy to build and manage and that’s the platform my kid likes.
