    Easiest computer build and install I've ever done.
    5 out of 5 stars
    Easiest computer build and install I've ever done.
    System was very easy to get up and running. Parts were individually packaged inside an outer box, which kept them from getting scuffed up in shipping. Many of the parts were marked with obvious warning stickers that directly addressed some easy mistake that could set you back, and that's pretty handy if you're new to all of this.The kit comes with the software installed on the little memory card, so you can get up and running without internet, but if you're at the "select what operating system you want to install" screen and connect to an internet-enabled network (which is automatic and smooth), the screen automatically updates with the other operating systems and current versions without further tinkering.Looking at this kit as a computer build, I would say this was the easiest, and least confusing I've ever done. It feels silly to say that about a computer like this, but I'd say this 'build' was less troublesome than taking a ready-to-use laptop or HTPC out of the box and getting them to do the things I want them to do. The Windows-like operating system loads fast and doesn't have dozens of frustrating, bundled applications vying for additional pay, needing to be uninstalled and resisting deinstallation.Most wonderful of all was that the specific things I needed to figure out (installing and self-starting Synergy and writing a temperature-checking script) are well covered by abundant and clear-cut community web pages.I was a little confused by the thumbdrive/SDcard adapter, thinking that I would need it for making a boot image or something. As it turns out, the adapter isn't needed for anything in this kit and I'm not sure why it was included. I previously had to put the little SD cards into a larger version (adapter) and then stick it in my camera, connected to a computer via USB, so I'm certainly not going to complain about the upgrade. Of course, if I wanted more kits for future projects, having a bunch of these adapters laying around would be somewhat of a nuisance.As for the performance, I bought this kit to simply stream a particular 24/7 stock trading network to a computer monitor. Sadly, I was hoping to view the stream at full 1080p, and this kit can only stream at 480p without constantly pausing. There could be various causes, but none of them are external to the device. Also, it seems to generate a bit of heat. I don't know if it's getting hot enough to cause failure, but I opted to cut a square hole in the lid, affix a 40mm PC fan with hot glue, and am reading temps of 35.4c GPU and 35c CPU while streaming 480p full screen now.All in all, I'd say that this is an excellent, even ideal, kit to do a minor computer task or as a bottom-dollar first computer that will help someone get familiar with Linux-like operating systems, which pretty much run the world.

      It comes with everything that you need. Very easy to assemble, and quite easy to get up and running. I gave it top marks for "for beginners", but that comes with a caveat: it's very easy if you are a beginner to Raspberry Pis, although I would not claim that it would be very easy for someone who is a beginner to computers in general. But you simply put the pieces together, and insert the SD card (which contains the OS) and power it on. Very soon, you have a very functional and very tiny computer to work with, where you can do all kinds of things. I bought mine for home automation, and it works absolutely great for that. I also really like that this is not a Chinese kit, since it is British (to my understanding, anyway) so you should not have to worry about any built-in insecurities. Another good thing to note is that the built-in LAN worked immediately on boot, though I have not tried the WiFi, but I expect that it would work perfectly well. I would highly recommend this kit if you are looking to do geeky-fun things with a Pi.

      This Kit is great, and the Raspburry Pi 3 B+ board is AWESOME! The case i only OK, but you don't need it. I plugged my Keyboard, mouse, memory (with noobs OS) and monitor into the naked board and ran the OS installation: I just had to set the local area in the config menu to get the Pi to recognize my WiFi. This board with the raspberry OS is fast! I'm writing this review and surfing right now with the included chrome browser.

      This OS is great for learning about computers. It comes with the gcc C compiler, as well as several other programing languages like Python, Scratch, Greenfoot Java IDE, and more. Plus the board has output Pins and software designed for controlling electronics like robots etc.
      For $35.00 for the basic board this is awesome.

      I swear that this board with linux based OS is faster then my old Dell 3Ghz ($800.00 in 2000) Pentium CPU running Win 7: yeah that's right. With its HDMI video output, you can use any TV with HDMI as your monitor.

      My only complaints so far are that it does not include MP3 player software or X-Windows compiler support out-of-box.
      It does include LibreOffice which is MS Office compatible (I loaded an Excel spreadsheet with no problems).
      For more info about this board and OS check out Youtube. There are tons of videos on this.

      If you know what you are doing you can save some $$ by just buying the board and peripherals al-la-cart, but the kit gives you everything you need to be up and running in 5 minutes! The case is only OK, but you don't need it or can buy another.

      There are OS options to turn the Pi board into a media server, and electronic parts kits to do all kinds of electronic builds. For the money, this can't be beat. There are online videos on how to multiboot various OSs from an external SSD.

      I LIKE IT!

      It was nice to find an all-in-one kit that has everything I need. The SD card comes pre-loaded with NOOBS setup software, which makes the setup process super easy. They also included a pair heat sinks for the board and a on/off switch for the power cord, which is a nice bonus. The black plastic case is average...nothing fancy. I am happy with the kit overall.

      I bought this as my first experience in getting going with Raspberry Pi and Retropie game emulators. Everything works great. It is an awesome little computer!

      I do have one gripe though and that is that the SD card reader that came with mine doesn't work. It's totally useless. You put the card in, plug it into your computer, and nothing. The computer refuses to recognize the reader. I know it is the reader's issue too, because I tried with a different (better) SD card reader bought separately, and it worked. But this is a minor gripe, because SD card readers are so cheap. It was annoying to have to buy another one, but not annoying enough to have to return the whole kit, since everything else worked fine.

      Others have reported issues with the case and things not fitting right. That wasn't my experience. The case fit perfectly for me. I had no problem with it.

      Others have reported that they didn't get the in-line power switch for the power adapter. I was a bit worried about this, because the product pictures aren't 100% clear on this. But yes, mine came with the switch. It's just an extra in-line device that you put between the power adapter line and the Pi.

      I played around with the 32 Gb SD card that came with this. It came with NOOBS preloaded, and with that you install the Raspbian operating system. It was pretty fun to play around with, both with the GUI and the command line, learning Linux commands. I installed the Pi version of Minecraft. That was fun.

      For heavy duty Retropie playing, I bought a pre-loaded 64 GB SD card. For the controller I use an 8Bitdo Gbros Wireless Adapter connected to a Wii Classic Controller, which allows the controller to connect directly to the Pi via bluetooth. The learning curve on how to do everything is steep, and I still don't have the controller formatted correctly for N64 games. But it's working for everything else, which is awesome.

      This little computer is extremely cool. Who would have thought that you could have something so tiny connected to your TV that can do so much? We are truly living in THE FUTURE, my friend!

      Also, my cat likes this. Because it let me get rid of a console, which opened up more space in the TV cabinet for her to lay in. So now her cat cave has been expanded. I am sure she is very appreciative.

      Highly Recommended!

      5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Pi Kit! I've bought four of them this month alone.

      There are a lot of Pi kits out there on the market, but this is one of the most complete starter sets you can get. Not only do you want a good product, but a company that is also responsive to questions/concerns as well.

      Over the past 2 weeks, I have purchased 4 of these sets from CanaKit and they all arrived very quickly, are well packaged and have had absolutely no issues with them. The SD card that came in my kits are good quality Samsung EVO SD cards. The power switch that comes with this kit is also very useful, saves you from having to unplug the unit when you want to power it down. I will likely buy a few more of these in the near future, take advantage of the $20 coupon they current have on this kit, excellent value.

      I am using my Pi's for two very specific purposes, one is for OctoPrint (for 3D printing), and for RetroPi (Retro gaming). My son has been exploring other uses for the Pi's as well, and he is learning new things like different operating systems etc. I didn't realize how many uses there are for a Raspberry Pi, very happy I came across these CanaKits. I have also recommended these to friends who have also purchased a few recently from this seller with and all agree how well thought out these kits are.

      great for a raspberry Pi project. While more expensive than just the bare bones systems that can be bought elsewhere, this full kit has everything you'll need for a starter to raspberry Pi. I'm totally inexperienced with it, but with the included instructions this was super user-friendly. I used it for a standalone project however with the included software this will be great for pretty much any use for raspberry Pi

      The pi was good till my semesters were over as sometime it just stops by itself due to long use. The product is good as it still last, i had made couple of projects with it no issues all the components are sufficient to operate it. Just handle it carefully bcz the case is not too tough it might break and also hinges on case is too tight so be careful when opening and closing as it might break.
