    My first foray into the Rasberry Pi world. I have been in the IT world for 30 years and watched technology expand and grow in many areas. This unit puts the Linux world within easy reach of everyone with even a partial interest. We are looking to use these for VPN servers between client locations without router conflicts and running Packet Radio on Ham Bands. Fully functional computer in a package the size of a pack of cigarettes. Powered by a cell phone charger.

    This kit has everything needed to assemble and setup a Raspberry Pi 4 except for a keyboard, mouse, and HDMI monitor or TV! It even has 2 HDMI cables! My Pi took about half an hour. I highly recommend this MAX kit to anyone who wants to learn how computers work and how to do a little programming. Be sure to check the vendor’s website for simple setup instructions plus ideas and hints about how to use a Pi! It lets you learn and have fun!

    Great but not as “Easy” as I’ve heard

    Great computer for my needs! Not as easy to do what I planned but 5 days of intense YouTube searching I was able to find some help. I used the Raspberry Pi 4B with a 5 inch HDMI display for my digital signature of my painting. This was definitely a tough task but it eventually came together!

    Purchased this out of curiosity and to use it to run Linux to retrieve data from hard drives pulled from inoperable laptops and PCs. Constrution and setup was a breeze. I opted to install the Rasperry Pi OS and tinkered with it some. It does what I need it to and is an interesting little tool to have.

    Very pleased with the raspberry 4 and the fact that Best Buy has them in stock. I am having a good time with the operating systems and the retro system emulator. My kids are enjoying gaming on the retro systems. Raspberry pi 4 with the 4gb ram is very fast and keeps up with the day to day tasks and much more. I am still pleased with the purchase and recommend this product to anyone.

    Glad I got this before RPi’s became crazy scarce

    Raspberry Pi’s have gotten genuinely scarce since I bought this, so I am glad I grabbed this before it became unavailable. This kit gives you everything you need for many applications and nearly everything for applications that aren’t as basic. There is a bit of a learning curve in the Linux world, but this is a great tool for tech hobbyists. This particular starter kit is well-suited to use as a music server or endpoint in a streaming audio system. In my case, it’s used as a low power, low energy use music server, with music located on a NAS on the same network. I switch between two player OSes (Volumio and PiCorePlayer), depending on my needs at the moment. It’s great being able to switch whole Linux-based OSes just by swapping out micro SD cards. In this application, it is the functional and sonic equivalent of purpose-built servers that cost a lot more money. My only complaint is that it is tough to remove micro SD cards. I have to remove the case bottom so that I can get enough leverage to remove the card with a fingernail.

    BEST COMPUTER EVER!!!!! This computer is better than a Chromebook. Also, I don't know how this kit is cheap. It should be $200 for a computer like this. (You have to set this up on a monitor and once it is set up, you can have it on a tv. Plug the HDMI into HDMI 0. If you want a dual monitor setup, then us 0 and 1.

    Solid kit with all necessary equipment and adapters. The board snaps into the case easily and you are up in running quickly. Only issue was the instructions for custom setup are a bit out of date and there is no description on which way to install the fan. Install the fan so it blows down onto the board.

    Great Little Mini Computer for Ham Radio

    I'd hesitate getting one of these, especially after hearing about the new model. I'm glad I got it! I'm an Amateur Radio Operator and use computers to work on c certain frequencies in what we call Digital Modes. The Raspberry Pi works GREAT for that and connects to my Ham Radio with no significant hurdles. It's also easy to experiment with other operating systems (except Windows - sorry).

    I'm only knocking off 1 star because these things are a little overpriced right now. I took this and put it in a 7" LCD and made an Octo-Pi out of it. I set it up right away and this has been working flawlessly since I set it up. I've printed a ton of stuff with this feeding the printer and it's been rock solid, no complaints.

    Great little kit for anyone looking to get into single board computers! I mainly purchased this kit because of the two HDMI to microHDMI cables since the pi 4 has the micro slots. The fan and heatsinks will keep the pi cool, even during a stress test it stayed below the threshold of 80°C at 1.5ghz. However, if you are wanting to overclock your pi then you will need a better cooling solution. During my test of the overclocked pi the cpu hit thermal throttling. Other than that it comes with everything you need to get running minus a keyboard/mouse and some kind of display(tvs work great as long as they support HDMI).
