I was testing it for web dev, it's much better than the Pi 400/Pi 4 in that regard[1].

Still not near Apple M1 class performance, so you have to adjust expectations for media, creative stuff. But most things I've tested work fine now on the Pi if it works in Linux at all, which is a bit nicer than last time I tried 4 years ago.

I should have waited to buy the 400 a few months ago.

Any thoughts on why they didn't use a CM?

I was also thinking that with the pi400, but that was clocked a bit faster than a pi4 if memory serves (the heatsink). Still, it would have been nice to have a CM5 that could later be upgraded to CM6.

Anyway it looks like a wait and see for the Amiga500+ version for me, that M.2 prep. looks worth waiting for. Any maybe they got some more red paint in by then.
