Description of πŸ–₯️ Vilros Raspberry Pi 4 4GB Comprehensive Desktop Kit with Keyboard, Touchpad, and Hub Case

KIT INLCUDES: Raspberry Pi 4 Model B with 4GB RAM--Fan Cooled Inch Keyboard & Touchpad HUB--USB-C 5V 3A Power Supply with On/Off Switch--Class 10 Micro SD Card Preloaded with NOOBS---USB-MIcro SD Adapter (to be used to rewrite card if desired)--5Ft HDMI-Micro HDMI Cable--Set of 2 Heatsink--Updated Quickstart Guide, Second Edition. KEEP YOUR PROCESSOR COOL: The busier a processor gets the more it heats up, leading to sub-optimal performance. To prevent this common issue, this kit includes a pre-installed fan within the PI Holding compartment on the HUB--The fan cools the board and case. These cooling mechanisms will help push the limits of your processor and increase its flexibility. SINGLE UNIT DESKTOP HUB: Features Sleek 15 Inch Wireless Keyboard with Touchpad--Keyboard Unit holds a Raspberry Pi Board within, The Compartment that holds the Pi Board Includes a preinstalled fan that can easily be connected to the Pi. SIZABLE RAM: This Raspberry Pi 4 comes equipped with 4GB of RAM, which is the same amount of RAM or more RAM then many mainstream laptops contain. With 4GB of RAM, your processor will be capable of running retro gaming setups and common computer applications, and much more!. VERSATILE USE: The Raspberry Pi may have a small processor, but it is a highly adaptable little computer that can replace your desktop PC. Its functions range from practical to nostalgic, since it can power an ad-blocking server as easily as it can power an outmoded gaming setup. Other uses include but are not limited to printing from non-wireless printers, making time-lapse videos, and building multiplayer network game servers and motion-capture security systems.

Surprisingly Convenient Mini Keyboard

This mini-keyboard is a perfect addition to my Raspberry Pi! According to my experience, the touchpad is accurate, the keys are responsive, and the design is visually appealing. The included USB dongle quickly pairs with Bluetooth and the rechargeable battery lasts for hours. The only downside is the lack of a backlight, making it difficult to type in low light settings.

Pros
  • Convenient and compact design
Cons
  • Limited compatibility with other devices or operating systems

Keyboard not working

My kit arrived early which is good. However, the wireless keyboard does not work (changed the batteries 3 times without success). I opened a ticket with Vilros to get a replacement and was told they would contact me within 3 days with instructions on how to return the keyboard for 'troubleshooting'. I told the rep that I would prefer if they sent me a new keyboard and then I could send the old one back and they could fix it at their own pace. I'm currently using an external keyboard and mouse…

Pros
  • Barebone desktops
Cons
  • Some small things

Great solution for building a retro computer console

I really like about this set! It has everything you need to build a pretty cool retro computer console. Of course you can use it for almost any purpose with your Raspberry Pi. However, I wanted my computer to look more like a retro 80's computer, so I added a 3.5" floppy drive and a Commodore 64 label. Then I installed Twister OS and started RetroPie to boot some classic computers like TI-99/4A. , Amiga etc. I have a YouTube video about this kit, if you are interested just search "Modern Retro…

Pros
  • Computer components
Cons
  • I can't remember but there was something
