Review on πŸ‘Ύ Vilros Raspberry Pi 4 4GB Starter Kit with Official Red/White Case for Enhanced SEO by Heidi Harter

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great toy and a big improvement over PI 3

I was actually developing software and hardware for them at work so couldn't resist when PI 4 came out. I like this set for several reasons. It included 1. an HDMI2 cable. 32GB SD card3. SD card reader 4. Four heatsinks (only three in most places)5. case6. 3A power adapter7. RPi 4 with 4GB memory It booted, installed the OS and worked fine. A faster processor and more RAM will go a long way. I used to hesitate to launch Chromium (web browser) because it was unbearably slow. But it's very acceptable in terms of response time. Yes, PI 4 gets very hot. When installing the operating system and updating the distribution, the heatsinks felt VERY hot. I read that this applies to PI 4 so I ordered a separate case with fan. This is shipped (literally) by slow boat from China, so I won't know how it works until next month.

  • Very good price
Cons
  • Hard to remember but it was
