I’ve found that my Pi 400’s built in web browser is almost unusable with bloaty script-heavy sites, so I’m wondering if the Pi 5 or 500+ is any better. There would be an NVMe SSD present if that helps.

If someone has this setup, could they take a look at homedepot.com ? That’s a very slow and obnoxious site that I use sometimes, as I do buy some from there when I can’t avoid it. I’m ok if it’s a bit sluggish but my Pi 400 was near incapable of navitation or loading the page in a reasonable amount of waiting.

Thanks!

    That’s good to hear, thanks. I wonder why the pi 4 is so bad. It’s much worse than my lower-midrange mobile phone, for example.

      They’re my first raspberry pi devices. I’m wondering if the 64 bit architecture of the 5, vs the 32 bit of the 4 would be a big factor.

        The pi 4 and pi 5 both have 64 bit cpu architecture, though it’s sort of possible that the 400 has a 32 bit OS (I just used the default one). Maybe I’ll check into it and see if I can run an OS that I’m sure is 64 bit. Thanks!
