Review on πŸ“ Vilros Raspberry Pi 4 Kit: 4GB Complete with Cooling Fan Case - Transparent & Efficient by Jason Childs

Revainrating 5 out of 5

My first raspberry.

This is now my very first Raspberry Pi. I never knew what it was or what it was capable of until I did some research on the Raspberry Pi 3 and got interested in what you could do that I wanted to buy one for myself but never got around to it - for problems and such, but then I saw the Raspberry Pi 4 came out. I took the plunge and got a full kit so I had everything I needed to get started with all of this. When it arrived I followed the step-by-step instructions and turned it on. It never showed up on my monitor and thought it was a NOOBS issue on the memory card. Determine that the map is corrupt and follow the steps to erase the entire map and reinstall NOOBS. I tried again and it still didn't work so I contacted support for help. I worked with support for a while and found that the issue I was having was that the HDMI cable I received was damaged, so they sent me 2 cables, an official Pi cable and then another normal cable, and now the Pi works great. So it's like a mini laptop. Great for surfing the web, watching movies, playing games, using a VPN, as well as a server for Minecraft and the like. Def I don't regret what I bought. Even my boss wants one now. I might do some fun projects with it one day, but for now I'm happy with what I'm using it for.

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Big and chunky
