FAQ: Raspberry Pi 5 vs. Old PC Or Laptop
As a Beginner, Which Should You Choose?
Q1: Why should I buy a Raspberry Pi 5 when I have an old laptop?
- A: While old laptops are powerful, the Raspberry Pi 5 excels in energy efficiency, size, and hardware projects. It consumes only about 3-12W, which is significantly lower than a typical PC (30-100W). If you need a silent, 24/7 “always-on” server for smart home or coding, the Pi 5 is the much more cost-effective choice in the long run.
Q2: How much can I save on electricity bills with a Raspberry Pi 5?
- A: On average, running a Raspberry Pi 5 24/7 costs less than $10 per year in electricity (depending on your local rates). In contrast, an old desktop or laptop could cost you $40 to $100+ annually. The energy savings alone can often pay for the device within a year or two.
Q3: Can a Raspberry Pi 5 replace my desktop computer?
- A: For light tasks like web browsing, document editing, and learning Linux, the 8GB or 16GB versions of the Pi 5 are excellent desktop replacements. However, for heavy video editing or AAA gaming, a traditional PC is still required. The Pi 5 is best used as a dedicated server, media center, or DIY electronics hub.
Q4: Do I need a special power supply for the 16GB model?
- A: Yes. To ensure stability, especially for the high-performance 16GB RAM model, we strongly recommend using the official Raspberry Pi 27W USB-C Power Supply. This ensures the Pi can provide full power to connected USB peripherals and maintain peak CPU speeds.
