Raspberry Pi 6, reviewed
Faster, hotter, and still the most useful $80 in computing. Where it shines and where it now needs a fan.
A BitByteCore review — tested in real use, not summarised from a spec sheet.

Each Pi generation asks the same question: is it still a toy, or a real computer? The answer keeps tilting toward real.
The good#
- Genuinely usable as a light desktop now.
- The software ecosystem is unmatched at the price.
The cost of speed#
| Trait | Verdict |
|---|---|
| Performance | Clearly up |
| Heat | Needs active cooling under load |
| Price | Crept up, still a bargain |
If your project pushes the CPU, budget for a fan. For everything else, it remains the most useful small board you can buy.
