Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5This kit is just awesome and so useful for hundreds of tasks! I'm currently using mine in a Mortal Kombat Arcade1up cabinet so I could convert it to an Emulation Station. I have another in my room as just a media player and PC I can use paired with a logitech wireless keyboard with built in track pad (also sold at BestBuy).

Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5The Raspberry PI is highly recommended for anyone (age 8 and up) who wants to learn more about computer operations, and especially for those who like to “tinker.” This is a good starter unit. Here is a link to explain the power of this tiny computer and all the info you need to know. https://www.tomshardware.com/news/raspberry-pi

Great little kit.

Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use4 out of 5I've been using this to run Debian to execute CRON jobs in my home network - no complaints so far, although what I am doing with it is quite mundane. I ended up picking up a few extra SD cards and have tried a few of the different default software options - and it really is a fairly capable little machine that is fun to put together and use.

Really surprised how much faster it is than old pi

Quality5 out of 5Value4 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Boredom me looking at these little computers again having a circa 2014 or so model. These boards are so much more powerful and I can run Ubuntu on this one just like on my laptop where you can’t do that on a first generation B+. These things are hours of fun and great learning tools. I’ll buy another most likely.

Great setup for those interested in raspberry pi
|Posted .Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.Features
Quality5 out of 5Value4 out of 5Ease of Use4 out of 5It is very nice that it comes with a pre-flashed micro sd card (saves some time) and the fan helps keep the raspberry pi in the 40-45C range depending on how much you are running on it (which is a very healthy temperature). Coming with a micro HDMI is also very helpful. In the end, if you are looking for an all around Raspberry Pi kit, this is the one.

Good kit for getting into raspberry pi
|Posted .Features
Quality5 out of 5Value4 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5The kit put together easily. The pi itself works as advertised. I haven't put it through any computationally demanding use cases yet but as a home server I haven't had to reboot it yet after a few weeks.

What experts are saying
Q: QuestionI am a non techie but have used Linux in the past. I am looking for a computer to hook up to a large monitor to watch YouTube videos', get email, and surf the web. Will I be able to get the Pro Starter Kit to do this without any programming knowledge?
Asked by Tcugrilla.
- A:Answer Yes. All you have to do is insert the Micro sd card and it will take you right through the setup. Not hard at all.
Answered by Blylck8
Q: QuestionPlease state Yes or No if this unit includes the cooling fan. The product appears not to, but then some of the comments and questions claim it is included.
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer yes it does include a cooling fan and the heat sinks for the CPU, RAM, and GPU

Q: QuestionIs this the 64 bit version?
Asked by Anil.
- A:Answer Yes. I purchased the 64 bit version. Works great. Runs smooth and has good response time. Hard to believe something that small has the speed and response of a laptop or desktop. I keep it plugged into my 60 inch tv and use it almost every night. Easy WiFi and Hotspot connections also.

Q: QuestionCan this connect to an iPad Pro?
Asked by Lou.
- A:Answer So not sure what you mean by connect to an iPad Pro. Essentially the Pi is a small Linux base computer that can be used for a variety of projects and applications. All though your question did lead me to do a quick search on using an iPad as a display for a Pi, I never thought about doing that but it is an interesting concept that I might have to explore. Here is a link to a blog post on just such a project. https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/connect-your-raspberry-pi-4-to-an-ipad-pro/ Good Luck! and if you do get a Pi have fun with it. PB

Q: QuestionWhat is the advantage to having a 32GB or 64GB card with this device? Companies such as Jameco and AdaFruit sell 16GB preprogrammed cards with NOOBS. Why might one need the additional space?
Asked by Anon.
- A:Answer How much SD space you need depends entirely on what you want to do with the Pi. I've settled on 32GB because for some of the stuff I do I need more space, but some of my older Pis that are doing things like backup server and furnace monitor are running just fine on 8GB

Q: QuestionMention whether or not this kit contains a touch screen
Asked by Leonardo.
- A:Answer I just happened to come across this question (very late but if you are regaining interest then here you go!) This kit does not come with a touch screen monitor for the raspberry pi4. There are however, many touchscreen products that are compatible with this product on the market. A quick search should bring up multiple products with compatible drivers that you can use, as you can not just use any touch screen product. Hope this helps!
