    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.

    Great small computer kit with built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. The 8GB of RAM,64-bit quad-core processor, dual-display output via two Micro HDMI ports and 4 usb ports are great.

    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.

    absolutely love my raspberry pi. This one was purchased as a Christmas present to become a Minecraft server. Pretty sure it was the last one purchased in the united states before all the shortages started. Decent amount of accessories included that are pretty good quality. Case and fan is nice and fit together nice and tight. I really like the on/off switch on the power supply- which is probably the most important accessory. Don't skimp on just any power supply if shopping around.

    I bought this kit alongside a 64GB A2 microSD card. I chose this kit because of the 8GB Raspberry Pi 4 and because it was cheaper even though it contains things I did not need. Most other places had either no stock or very high prices for a plain Raspberry Pi 4, let alone the 8GB version. I currently have piHole and HomeAssistant installed, alongside raspotify connected to an AUX speaker and a folder shared in the network as a media library.

    I purchased this so I could dust off my coding skills, as well as learn how a computer actually works. Opening this up, I felt like a kid on Christmas morning. Knowing what this little beast is capable of - I would LOVE to build the OctoPi! - and getting to assemble it all into a sleek, compact package? I couldn't be happier. An excellent value for the price; I only wish these were around when I was of high school age. Highly recommend.

    Great starter kit, has all you could possibly need to get started with a pi assuming you already have the peripherals already or plan to use it headless. The fan keeps the chip under 60 degrees celcius even when slightly overclocked (just to 2ghz, so not all the way). It does get a bit noisy however.

    Everything needed to get started with Raspberry Pi and Linux except the monitor, keyboard and mouse. No image downloads to apply. No guessing which power supply. Just assemble the kit and it works.

    Canakit PI 4 had almost everything I needed, other than an HDMI monitor and USB keyboard, to run the ARM version of Windows 10. It runs it fairly well for a $100 computer.

    Love the fact that this is an all in 1 kit and yes while individually purchased, these components might cost a tad bit less - I don't have to hunt for them. Further most importantly, because this is thru Bestbuy - I don't have to pay ridiculous amount of money for shipping from all stores that sell raspberry pi - so some good saving there.

    For any DIYer, this Is a great little kit to get your started with Raspberry Pi's. I've found many uses for them to even deploy a whole-home automation and monitor system with Homeassistant to save thousands over using security products or providers.

    This kit comes with pretty much everything that you need to be up and running. All you need to do is install the operating system that you're going to use onto the micro SD card; connect your keyboard, mouse, and monitor; and power it up. Great kit!

    I've been a Raspberry Pi fan since version 2 and this one is excellent. It might be overkill, but this is going to be in a full retro arcade build. However, I've been playing with it as a "desktop" and it performs quite well in that respect. I might get another to make into a media station since my old 3 is struggling. You do need to have the tinker bug inside you to really enjoy these things, but it's a great low-cost way to get your kids into more than just mouse clicking and watching YouTube.
