Review on πŸ”₯ CanaKit Raspberry Pi 4 Extreme Kit - Aluminum Edition (8GB RAM): Unleash Optimal Performance by Bret Wong

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great to start with

Not much has been said as many of the items included are fairly common and/or necessary to use the Pi. However, I will comment on the aluminum body. I ran my Pi 4 at full CPU power for a long time, causing the temperature to rise dramatically. The case may actually be too hot to touch. I'd say that's a good thing as it means it absorbs heat and does its job as a passive cooler. You can cool the Pi down even more, although I'll point a simple USB fan at it. However, my biggest dislike for this case is the lack of access to the GPIO pins. I believe that a simple modification could make this possible. But it's still a good looking case that gets the job done and plays well with all the ports.

Pros
  • Hands-free
Cons
  • Blank
