Highlights
Quality
Need to buy every time a new one comes out this iteration is faster than the last and is handling everyday use quite nicely
Currently using this to host a modded minecraft for 46 players and it is handling it very well
Tried twice each install reported error and would not let me log in so installed previous version works fine they may fix that
While occasional overheating during heavy use is a minor concern its a solid upgrade overall
Price
Worth every dollar is the pi5
This will ultimately be the best value if you want to just try it out
For the price i paid i felt this was worth it
However i would not buy it at resale any higher than £80
Packaging/appearance
I did feel the box lacked packaging
I had a connector cover floating in the box so when i opened it i was a bit worried
Competitiveness

While these are older they may be better value depending on the projects you intend to launch with them

So would have probably been better if it came with some padding or an antistatic bag
