- Processor
- Processor Model: ARMv8 (Your computer's processor is like its brain. Working in combination with system memory, the power of the processor determines the complexity of software you can run, how many programs you can have open at the same time, and how fast those programs will run. Most computers feature an AMD, Intel or Snapdragon processor.)
- Processor Cores: 4-core (quad-core)
- Processor Speed (up to): 1.8 gigahertz (Actual central processing unit (CPU) speed may vary by device configuration and design. Also referred to as clock speed, this is how quickly the central processing unit (CPU) can receive and interpret instructions. The higher the number, the more operations per second that can be completed. Working in combination with system memory, the power of the processor determines the complexity of software you can run.)

- Type of Memory (RAM): LPDDR4 SDRAM (Each type of RAM delivers a different level of speed, bandwidth, energy efficiency and performance.)
- Connectivity
- Wireless Connectivity: Bluetooth, Wi-Fi (The manner in which a device sends data to another device over a short distance without the use of wires or cables.)
- Wireless Networking Standard: Wi-Fi 5 (The wireless networking standard used by the device. Each iteration of the standard developed by the Wi-Fi Alliance corresponds to an existing IEEE 802.11 protocol; for example, standard 802.11ac (or AC) is termed Wi-Fi 5. Refers specifically to the standard the device is designed to use, but ultimately determines product interoperability and backward compatibility including previous versions.)
- Wireless Standard: AC (The wireless networking protocol used by the device. Each iteration of the protocol is based on the 802.11 standard developed by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Standards Association. Denoted by letters following 802.11 (802.11a, 802.11ac, etc.), each version, published in alphabetical order, encompasses all previous versions.)
- Ethernet Card: 10/100/1000 (Also known as an Ethernet adapter, this card plugs into a computer's motherboard and enables it to access an Ethernet network. Ethernet data transmission speeds are measured in Mbps (megabits per second) and Gbps (gigabits per second). For example, a 10/100 Ethernet port transmits 10 and 100 Mbps, while a 10/100/1000 Ethernet port transmits 10 and 100 Mbps and has a maximum speed of 1000 Mbps (1 Gbps).)

Q: What comes included with this Raspberry Pi kit?
A: This kit includes a 16GB memory card, a clear case, a set of heat sinks, and a micro HDMI to HDMI cable.
Q: Does this Raspberry Pi come with an operating system?
A: Yes, it includes a 16GB memory card with the NOOBS operating system pre-loaded.
Q: How much RAM does this Raspberry Pi have?
A: This Raspberry Pi comes equipped with 2GB of LPDDR4 SDRAM.
Q: What kind of processor does this Raspberry Pi use?
A: This Raspberry Pi uses a 1.5GHz 64-bit quad-core ARMv8 CPU.
Q: What type of power supply is included?
A: This kit includes a USB Type-C power supply with a noise filter for stability.
Q: Can I connect this Raspberry Pi to a monitor?
A: Yes, a micro HDMI to HDMI cable is included for connecting to a standard TV or monitor.
A: The "CanaKit - Raspberry Pi 4 2GB Starter Kit" does not come with a fan. If you would like get a fan for the case what you are looking for is a 5 Volt fan that is 30x30x7mm in size. At that point you could either connect it to the 5volt or 3.3volt header pins on the Raspberry PI. Depending how fast you would like the fan to spin but I find the 3.3volt is more then enough to keep it cool.
Q: Does this version of the Pi have an Ethernet port included? If not, which version should I get?
A: The RPi 4B does come with a ether net connection built in and it's a gigabit port.

Great for little Projects
I'm blown away by how simple everything was to setup. I did so without a monitor following documentation on the raspberrypi dot org website. Everything was simple to understand and pretty thorough, I was able to configure my Pi to act as a home DNS server/ad blocker eliminating many of those annoying pop up ads. That is just one of the many things you can do with this device. I definitely see more purchases in the future for different projects.
