Two Micro HDMI ports allow the Raspberry Pi 5 to drive dual 4K@60Hz displays simultaneously — a notable upgrade from the Pi 4's single-display limitations. The USB-C port is power-only at USB 2.0 speeds; a 5V/5A supply is required for full performance and it cannot output DisplayPort video. Four USB-A ports split into two USB 3.0 (5 Gbps) and two USB 2.0 for peripherals, alongside Gigabit Ethernet. Primary storage uses a microSD card; the M.2 HAT+ expansion enables NVMe drives for faster storage.
Single-board computer with dual Micro HDMI (4K@60Hz each), 4x USB-A, Gigabit Ethernet, and USB-C power input.

Notes & Compatibility
USB-C port is for power delivery only — USB 2.0 data speeds, no DisplayPort output, no Thunderbolt. Requires 5V/5A (25W) USB-C PSU for full performance. Dual HDMI outputs are Micro HDMI (Type D) — a dedicated adapter or micro-HDMI-to-HDMI cable is required for standard monitors.
