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).)

Owner's Manual

Q: Does this pi have the ability to view in 4k and attach to dual monitors?

A: Yes, it has two microHDMI ports; I haven't hooked any of mine up to 4K displays, but per the Raspberry Pi specs it will support dual 4K monitors. I would be concerned about the memory and performance cost of trying to drive 2xQHD monitors in any heavy-duty application unless you are ready to go beyond the "out of box" Raspberry Pi OS and use a 64-bit OS (either the beta Raspberry Pi OS(64) or another xNIX variant).

Q: When will this be back in stock?

A: undefined

Q: Can you use the camera cable / connection with the case closed ? Do you have access to the GPIO pins with the case closed ?

A: undefined

Q: Does the Raspberry Pi 4 Starter PRO Kit with 8GB RAM come with the 3 amp power supply.

A: Yes it does, 3.5A, and with on/off switch

Good little computer
Great little computer! It’s small and compact and easy to use! It comes with everything you need! I bought it to run a Minecraft server and it works well if you keeps the users to around 5-6.

Handy hobby computer, I like to have extra around
I've purchased several of these Raspberry Pi 4 Starter Pro Kits as I keep finding small projects to utilize them with. This kit in particular has the 8GB version of the Raspberry Pi 4. It comes with a 32 GB microSD card. What makes this a complete kit is the case, cooling fan, power supply, 3 heat sinks, micro HDMI cable and power switch. While there are other kits that may include higher microSD storage capacity or an additional micro HDMI cable, I really don't need it. This kit hits the sweet spot in terms of price per accessories. MicroSD cards can be found cheaper and after having one or two projects that don't need a monitor, I have a few spare micro HDMI cables now. I've used one of these kits for an OctoPi for running my 3D printer. I have another one being used as my family calendar. I plan another project for a photo frame. I like that there is a strong community of projects that I can utilize and oftentimes not have to develop my own code. There have been a few projects where I've developed my own code and the Raspberry Pi kit has plenty of flexibility to accommodate whatever size project I need. I've looked at a few retailers and most of them can't seem to keep a Raspberry Pi 4 - 8GB in stock. I've been able to order these at Best Buy when I need them without any problems. I will likely order more from Best Buy just to keep them around for when I need to jump on another project.
