Interesting with the announcement of 16 Gig ram for the pi 5.
A couple of months ago a magazine brought to my attention giving a review on some other "Small Computer Board" (SCB) said in different words these SCB are not yet ready to replace our current office~home computers.
Strange I was thinking along the same line as a SCB user that turned my laptop off for the last time about the same time as I read the article because to fix some of issues with that laptop, it would be cheaper to buy the latest highest spec laptop I could find on the market, then I would have change all my user files over. So my thinking as peripherals fail or need upgrading it will cheaper to move on.
Honestly I am glad to see the old laptop go, my memory of last using Windows I got distracted all the time with stupid pop up messages I never get when using Linux.
My SD card took a few hours to back up with the Accessories => SD card copier, I wonder if there is some quicker backup that just backs up all the files you added or changed sine the last "major time consuming" backup .
