Customer Service - Computer Components

The included 32GB SD card cannot be read by my Raspberry Pi or my laptop. Upon insertion, the laptop displays "Please insert disc into drive". Useless. Now I need another SD card. Update: A new SD card has been sent. Now everything is in order.

Pros
  • Absolute Legend
Cons
  • Some small things

What a great little computer

This is a small computer and it definitely works like a big computer. Works great as a daily driver. Has a wonderful educational support group to support him. I can't say enough good things about this computer. Not made in China by the way. This is a UK product. Have fun!

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Expensive Insurance

Good customer service

I received the goods, everything works except the SD card. I contacted CanaKit support and they sent me a new one within a day. I really appreciate the good customer service there so I shouldn't have been upset about SD knowing things like this happen. Keith looks great!

Pros
  • Easy installation
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.

Works great but a little pricey

This is a good kit that has pretty much everything you need except a monitor to set up a nice little Raspberry Pi 4 based computer system, it's a small computer that caters to the masses is accessible. The CanaKit does a good job of handling all of this, but due to the current popularity of the Raspberry Pi 4 (particularly 8GB boards) the kit won't save you money, but it will likely save you time and any frustration you may be having to have. occur if you have bought everything separately.

Pros
  • Great overall performance
Cons
  • Doubtful

Here's the Deal: Computers and Accessories

You know that phrase, "You get what you pay for"? Buy that and it flies out the window. That's the real deal. Case, fan, heatsink fit perfectly. The keyboard is really well made and the mouse goes well with it. You must have seen the original Kano computers with their beautiful keyboard and mouse. These are heavily updated versions. The cables are top notch and CanaKit even includes a really useful pinout for your Pi. I've bought several kits because I do a lot of engineering work with them asโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Always Liked
Cons
  • I Won't Say Anything

Tiny beast for computers and accessories

Great computer. I've spent the last few days testing every operating system available and it's amazing for the price. I try to think negatively and I can't think of anything. I'll edit it if I can think of anything, but for now I'd say go for one. Any tech savvy person or people interested in being tech savvy should have it to play with. I personally bought it to learn more about Linux, but I realized there was so much more you could do with it. Just search Google for Raspberry Pi 4 projectsโ€ฆ

Pros
  • nice thing
Cons
  • I don't remember but there was something

Ideal for use as a headless Pi hole server

I'm new to the Raspberry Pi form factor, although I've been a long-time Unix user/programmer of many varieties. I bought this to act as a Pi-Hole server to handle DNS requests from trackers (Pi-Hole is an open source web-wide ad and tracker blocker for your home or office). It's perfect for the job - easy to set up, runs without refrigeration, and runs headless in a UPS equipment closet. It's perfect for such a single purpose, install and forget about those apps. I can always browse it over ssh

Pros
  • There's a twist
Cons
  • Minor issues

Easy to get started

Took me about 5 minutes to unbox and assemble the desktop system. After the build, I powered it on and logged onto my network using a keyboard and mouse, after which the OS installation began. When the installation was complete and I was ready to move on to the next step, the system did not respond to the keyboard or mouse. I immediately assumed I had a basic Raspbian operating system installed, so I reformatted the SD card and reinstalled NOOBS. When I tried to log into my network, the systemโ€ฆ

  • Decent performance
