Raspberry Pi 5 Starter Kit PRO - Turbine Black (128GB Edition) (4GB RAM)

Great birthday gift for nerdy bf. He loved it.

Everything in the kit is top-notch. Make sure to watch the instruction video. It answered all my questions. Originally I had a RPi3B but it just could not keep up with only a dozen sensors in Home Assistant. But this RPi 5 basically flies, quick response with no hesitation. And plenty of storage.

Perfect starter kit, has everything you need to get going!

Happy with the performance

This Pi kit includes everything you need to get started and then some. A quick search and I found a great video on the assembly of everything. Other than having to go online for instructions, this kit is an absolutely 5 star for newer Pi users. It is possible to come close to the price if you search and source each piece, but for most people, these kits will be the best bang for the buck. After assembly, you pop the already setup sd card in and turn it on. It is truly that simple. As for performance, this runs circles around my Pi 4. It uses a bit more power but is powered via USB-C connection, so as long as you have a 45 watt supply, you can run this thing anywhere. Overall, it is a great upgrade from my Pi 4 and couldnt be happier with the complete kit!

Died after a year. Just occasional usage in the living room. Power chip died, apparently it happens with pi 5s. Fan doesn't spin up on power on, led stays red when first plugged in. Not worth buying

This is a good, complete kit to get you started with your Raspberry PI 5. You get a 4gb Raspberry Pi 5, power supply, 2 HDMI cables, heat sync kit, fan, case, 128gb Micro SD Card pre-loaded with 64-bit Raspberry Pi OS, USB MicroSD card reader, and a pin out guide for the Pi. I currently own three raspberry PIs (a 3b, a 4, and now a 5) All of them have come from Canakit. With this kit you will have to add a monitor, mouse and keyboard, everything else you need is provided. The pre-loaded OS is the bare minimum version and you will have to download and installed the additional software you want, which is nice because you can add just what you need. The only part of this kit that was just "so so" was the case as it just snaps together but not just tightly. That's my only "sort of" negative. All in all this is a great kit at a good price.

It’s what I bought, but it’s been awhile since I used the Pi and normally these kits have instructions/ tutorials available that are comprehensive. The resources offered with this item are outlandish (list of poorly made tutorials in a giant list of all their stock, similarly named so finding the correct resources is difficult) It’s what I ordered, but if I could go back in time I’d probably not order the rpi5 to begin with since it’s not so different from earlier generations

this item is worth the money works great

As always Canakit delivers a great package

Easy to setup. I'm using this as a Homebridge server and was able to assemble and setup within minutes. This is the first Raspberry Pie I've ever setup too.
