    I had a project I was working on and needed a Pi. I have known about these for years but just never bought one. What was I waiting for??? For a small package it is more than powerful for my needs. My only semi-regret was that I did not know there is an 8GB model available but not from Bestbuy. They do have this kit and it is perfectly priced!

    Really hard to find a raspberry pi 4 just the board nowadays. Gave in and bought the kit and I’m very happy with how good the quality of the extra in the kit were. You even get a 64g Samsung evo micro sdcard. Definitely going to use most of the things that came with it

    Takes a moment to assemble. Had to google where the heat sinks were supposed to go. Works ok but also having the 8GB version makes me wish I had purchase both with 8GB. Comes with a pre loaded SD Card, Rasperian OS.

    I use mine to control my 3D printer with Octoprint. Reviewing just the pi it’s self, I think it’s awesome. You have so many options with them I don’t know what’s not to like about them. Setup was easy. Instructions for non tech savvy people I would say is easy enough for them to understand

    I bought this to try out the Raspberry Pi as a desktop computer. It works amazing and its hard to believe the power this has being so tiny. I installed TwisterOS on the SD card and my son has been using it as his day to day computer with no issue. He loves it.

    Awesome product for beginners. I have never built a raspberry pi before, but this had everything you could need plus a cooling fan which is great if you plan to overclock the raspberry pi.

    A large number of apps have been developed for the Raspberry Pi 4 including solutions for home automation. I decided to use HOOBS on my Pi 4 along with a Sonoff Zigbee USB stick and an Aeotec Zwave USB stick. It took a little patience and some web searching, but the result is a totally local HA solution running on the Pi 4. The CanaKit provides everything needed to get the Pi 4 up and running including a case, power supply, cooling fan with heat sinks, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and cables. Just add a keyboard/mouse and monitor and you're all set.

    Raspberry PI 4 full server system

    It’s a RPI 4. It’s not a desktop with fast speeds, but is perfectly acceptable as a server, some web surfing, even YouTube on a 4K 60hz display—if you don’t mind some frame drops. Fun for a project and brushing up your Linux skills. I plan to use it on the boat as a BLE (Low Energy) message logger from some “smart” systems, a VPN server and router so I can SSH into boat systems remotely. Good value

    Excellent kit. Has everything you need to run 2 monitors. New Pi4 has enough horsepower to run our digital signage app. Good value for a very hard to find pi.

    Comes with everything you'd need to get up and running for some Pi fun. Upgraded from a Pi 3 B+ and the added RAM is a much needed improvement for some of the things I need it for. I love having the heat sinks and fan to keep it cooler too.

    My project was to create an appliance to control the telescope and ccd camera for astrophotography. This booted right up and I installed astroberry on another sd card. Now I can wirelessly control the setup from my iPad or computer inside.

    I use this as a Linux Base Print server for my 3d print servers and it can take request and upload them like a boss. A huge improvement in speed over the PI2. Also the Fan increases it's performance by a large margin.
