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

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The Pi 4 is awesome, don't use the official case

The four stars in the review are almost entirely due to the poor cooling of the official case and the fact that kits are pretty much the only way to get one Getting Pi that doesn't have Revain's fancy markup. The Pi itself is amazing. I'm still working on setting up all my smaller projects, but with heatsinks and a fan blowing on them, YouTube videos play at 1080p and 60fps in Raspbian. That's pretty impressive for something so small and powerful. In the official case, it drops almost constantly when I actually start programming with music playing in the background. I received an Argon One case, but unfortunately it's being shipped from Hong Kong, so at the moment I'm dealing with a desktop fan blowing onto an open case. I didn't use an SD card adapter. The included SD card appears to be a real, fast Samsung card, preloaded by NOOB. The official power supply works great. The HDMI cable works well, although look for black if you want it to fit your workspace a little better. I will definitely buy 3-4 more of these, just without the case.

  • Don't waste too much time
