Orange Pi 5 SBC review, including hardware specifications, with demos running Ubuntu and Debian, and applications that include Chromium, GIMP, LibreOffice, Blender and Kdenlive. There is also discussion of the differences between an RK3588 and RK3588S system on a chip (SoC), with tests to show the implications for the speed of an M.2 NVMe SSD.
At the time of uploading this video (Jan 14th 2023), the 4GB Orange Pi 5 was selling on Amazon.com for $82.99 https://amzn.to/3IOe2li Note that this is an affiliate link, and that as an Amazon Associate I earn a commission from any qualifying purchases you may make.
The Orange Pi 5 featured in this video was purchased on prerelease from AliExpress in November 2022 for £53.03 plus taxes and shipping, which came to £74.35 delivered. At the time of making this video (in the second week of January 2023) the 4GB model with no accessories included was selling on AliExpress for $75.00. But as I say in the video, Orange Pi prices seem to change very regularly, and the board is sold in a lot of different packages.
