Alot of us who have a Raspberry Pi 3 or 4 might upgrade to the Raspberry Pi 5.

Doing so would leave us with 2 Pi’s. What are some great use cases for the older Pi, that would no longer be the main machine?

    You didn’t blindly upgrade to the next Pi. Not upgrading or upgrading to something you know meets your demands are the right things to do. I assume upgrading to a Pi 5 is not that for most people

      In my case I need the 5 for the extra power. It will exactly meet my demands, and the 4 ‘only’ does 90% of the time.

      And if I could find something cool for the 4, I would buy the 5 immediately. But I think I need to know that I can use it for something. Otherwise I will feel bad buying the 5.

      On the other hand, they’re relatively cheap and it gives you a spare to tinker with, or at least that’s what I told myself last week when I ordered another Pi3 since I saw they came back in stock on Digikey after all these years.
