Customer Ratings & Reviews

Works well with emulation and programming I am really happy with the product. Works well with my arcade stick as well. I would buy again. This kit was a full kit with fan and heat sinks to prevent it from over heating and a power button on the adapter.

Great choice for your first Pi build. Includes everything you'll need to get up and running. Runs great, even came with Minecraft for Pi pre installed. Great instructions easy to follow.

Good kit for beginners. Ready to put together and use right out of the box. Set up a Plex server using this and it works perfectly after a bit of Googling for setup help.

I love my Rasberry Pi so much. Ive created a full arcade cabinet with it with retro games from nintendo all the way up to Playstation and it was super easy

Great little machine for everyday tasks, but do not expect it to perform well as a media server for the GPU is not powerful enough. Knowledge of Linux will help greatly.

Luckily I’ve had experience with Linux-based systems in the past, but this was auper simple to out together and install necessary software. I’m using it to power an arcade cab, but even if you’re using the provided OS, a novice can get there easily.

I bought this as a birthday for my pre-teen nephew. He loved the opportunity to construct it himself. The price was reasonable, and shipping was speedy.

Great package. Super easy to set up and run. The casing and fan are one of the better quality Pi casings out there. The Pi5 version is even better(at the same price point)

Great kit with the full-boat needed essentials! Comes with the computer board, power supply, case kooling fan, 2 hdmi cables, a Canakit PiSwitch on the infeed line 128gig micro card. Hook up a keyboard, mouse and monitor. You’re ready to start learning about Debian, Linux and basic computing..

The Raspberry Pi is a versatile little single board computer. It supports 4k video and has enough ports to connect it to typical desktop peripherals. As a single board computer, it also has gpio pins which provide an interface to a large number of sensors and other devices which can be controlled by the pi. This particular model has 8gb of RAM, so running a full version of the pi port of Ubuntu Linux works quite well.

The first thing I tried with pi 4 was the smart mirror and hooked it up with ring door camera. Worked great. Also created lots of fun projects with it. Loved it.

I own a couple of these now, running a variety of projects: Home Assistant HyperHDR RetroPi PiHole

Used it to set up a home assistant server. Bought a second to set up a touchscreen interface. 5 of 5 stars!

Awesome little tinker toy. Great for learning. Easy to assemble.

Pretty cool, used it to emulate retro games in my living room, took less than an hour with the help of a YouTube video.

picked this up to help run animatronics, light show, and just learning to play around. Great item, once package, easily done.

My 12 Year OLD NEPHEW USES IT IN HIS ROBOTICS PROJECT AND IT MEETS HIS NEEDS TO THE MAXIMUM.

I have used a CanaKit before and think they're great. However, when I ordered this one through BestBuy I received an obviously used/returned product. The case, power supply, SD card, and one HDMI cable were all missing. The heat sinks had been used and were stuck together. The wires on the fan had been cut. I am uncertain why this would have been accepted as a return, but it never should have been resold. To be clear, this was not listed as "open box", I was supposed to be receiving a brand new item. After talking with BestBuy support, this was sold through a third party even though there was no indication when I made the purchase that it was not shipping from BestBuy directly. BestBuy phone support was incredibly unhelpful, ultimately requiring that I go to a brick and mortar store to resolve the issue.

I highly recommend the Pi to anyone. This are a amazing little machine no matter if you're setting up a headless pirate box, learning to build or progam a PC, or just want a fun project to work on with you children. I only rank the ease of use as average because Linux can be a big learning curve for some people. Although the graphical user interface is a part of the Pi OS using the linux command line is still a much much needed skill.

The raspberry pi is one of the coolest computers ever.. They are extremely customizable. You can learn how to code and program computers. This can be used and set up as a NES emulator. For the price it's a really powerful computer.
