- Key Specs
- System Memory (RAM): 8 gigabytes (Random-access memory (RAM) is a computing device's short-term data storage, which allows active information to be accessed quickly. The size and type of RAM determines how efficiently the device can handle large amounts of information at one time. For example, gaming or video editing requires more RAM for optimal performance.)
- Type of Memory (RAM): LPDDR4 SDRAM (Each type of RAM delivers a different level of speed, bandwidth, energy efficiency and performance.)
- Generation: Raspberry Pi 5
- General
- Brand: CanaKit
- Model Number: PI5-8GB-STR128-C4-BLK-RT
- Product Name: CanaKit Raspberry Pi 5 Starter Kit - Turbine Black (8GB)
- Color: Black
- Generation: Raspberry Pi 5
- Processor
- Processor Model: Broadcom BCM2712 (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): 2.4 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.)

- Connectivity
- Wireless Connectivity: Wi-Fi, Bluetooth (The manner in which a device sends data to another device over a short distance without the use of wires or cables.)
- 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).)

Powerful, Quiet, and Easy to Setup
Great performance for the size. Kit was very easy to install and fan was incredibly quiet.

Good value, but an N100 mini PC might be better
The overall quality of this kit is actually decent for the 160 USD it was at the time I ordered it. If anything is lacking, I'd say the case itself feels a little cheaper than I'd like. If you specifically need a Raspberry Pi5 8gb to do some programming on a board that runs at a relatively lower power consumption or retro gaming, this is a solid choice. You can even flash multiple operating systems to one SD card or have a different OS on several cards to swap between them in a flash. Just a heads up though: Sound did NOT work out of the box with the preinstalled operating system, even after letting it automatically install all the updates, and even after reimaging the OS entirely from scratch when Canakit told me to waste my time with that. Should you have the same issue, make sure the computer is connected to the internet, launch the command box and type: sudo apt update Hit enter, wait for it to finish, and then type: sudo apt upgrade Enter the confirmation to let it upgrade and then reboot it. These commands apparently download the most up to date drivers, which the Pi version of the Linux OS doesn't include in the automatic updates manager. If you don't need a Pi computer specifically, and just need an inexpensive PC for basic video streaming services, web browsing, social media, maybe some lower spec Steam games (It plays some Xbox 360 games off steam just fine), you can get very solid performance with an N100 mini pc running full blown Windows 11 for about the same price as this or a little more.

Nice quick little device
Wonderful little tinker board. I have it running a home assistant server, but there are many more things that can be done.
