CanaKit Raspberry Pi 4 4GB Starter Kit: Complete with Clear Case and 4GB RAM Review

Everything arrived as described, was in excellent condition and worked perfectly. The kit does not need to be assembled by yourself. The case is well made and the fan is very quiet even at full power. The SD is a legitimate Samsung card, not a cheap knockoff of a Cat card, which is nice. The power adapter is also well made and the included switch is a nice safety feature. Heatsinks are your "regular" heatsinks, but they have adequate adhesive on the back and fit well. Overall very happy with…

CanaKit has put together a complete savvy kit including power supply. This is my third CanaKit and the kit comes with pretty much everything you need to get it up and running in a very short amount of time. I have been happy with all of my Canakit Raspberry Pis. However, pay special attention to the video connection requirements of your monitor. VGA, DVI or HDMI? You may also need to purchase adapters. My CanaKit Pi4 came with an HDMI to Mini to HDMI video cable. I had to buy a DVI to HDMI…

I don't usually write reviews but I had an issue with this PI-4 and Canakit replaced it immediately and even gave me some money to send it back. Just fantastic for such a small purchase. On the other hand, the Raspberry Pi 4 has an RF interference issue where HDMI interferes with the 2.4GHz wireless network. I've had 3 now and they all exhibit this problem to varying degrees. The last one Kanakit sent me now works fine with 2.4Ghz wifi on certain screen resolutions and timings but not others…

The extra memory and higher resolution were the main reasons I bought this unit. It should also be able to support 4k. So far I haven't been able to push the resolution past 1080p. Initially it only runs at 1024x768 on my Samsung 4k TV, after finding a setting I was finally able to get it to 1080p but I still can't get it past that. I also experienced some video tearing when playing YouTube videos. at 1080p full screen so not sure if the 4k side can handle 4k full screen video. Aside from video

Excellent kit. Everything arrived quickly, complete and working. Pi4 screams with 4GB or RAM. I did notice that it generates slightly more heat and uses more power than B. The included heatsinks are definitely a must have. In terms of power consumption, the Pi4 draws around 580mA at idle, while my 3B was only 230mA. ma. The Pi peaked at 900mA and the 3B peaked at 350 under heavy use. Some of my use cases require the Pi to drain its battery, so this difference in power consumption can play a big

Came in a very nice packaging. Good guide. Everything fits together well. The only thing I found was that the fan hole wasn't big enough. The raspberry neckline is smaller than the fan. I just drilled a few extra holes and the airflow is much better. It doesn't disrupt the overall package. The fan cools everything and the heatsinks fit in both the Pi and the case. The price is fair for what you get. The price is entirely individual, and you will get a little higher. So getting a kit that puts…

I finally decided to take the plunge and get myself a Raspberry Pi. I knew I would need a case and power supply. I've seen this kit come with all of that and other essentials: a Noobs microSD card, a reader for that card, heatsinks and a fan, and of course the custom MicroHDMI cable that the Pi 4 needs. Heatsinks and a fan keep my Pi nice and cool. Everything works as advertised. Raspberry Pi computers are not like Windows PCs. So if you decide to buy something like this, be prepared to learn…
