Description of Raspberry Pi 4 Starter Kit - Aluminum XTG with 4GB RAM by Vilros

KEEP YOUR PROCESSOR COOL: The busier a processor gets the more it heats up, leading to suboptimal performance. To prevent this common issue, this kit includes a self-cooling case. The aluminum alloy heatsinking material of the case touches the on-board chips, and pulls the heat from the board . Also included is thermal heatsink compound that can be applied onto the chips for maximum conductivity. These cooling mechanisms will help push the limits of your processor and increase its flexibility. 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, media players and much more!. SIMPLE TO TURN ON & OFF: This kit includes a USB-C Raspberry Pi 4 compatible power supply with an easy-to-use on/off switch that was designed specifically for the Raspberry Pi 4 model to streamline processing. IMPROVEMENTS FROM PREVIOUS MODELS: This latest model of the Raspberry Pi 4 offers groundbreaking increases in processor speed, multimedia performance, connectivity, memory and more! The desktop performance of this model is comparable to entry-level x86 PC systems. 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, playing media, making time-lapse videos, and building multiplayer network game servers and motion-capture security systems.

The screw hole is misaligned.

I am very satisfied for the most part and would recommend this product. However, one of the screw holes in the case is not centered and the screw will not go in. Everything else worked perfectly, so the hull had to make an appointment with Dr. do DREMEL as I don't want to do the job. send it back

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Not bad, but...

Nice little calculator.

I bought this device to use as a web browser for my TV, but it has gotten much bigger. Sure, it acts as a microcomputer for my living room, but it also runs Retropie for some retro games. Tons of possibilities in the future. Again, this is likely the case you'll find for Raspberry Pi 4. Very strong and durable. I actually stood on it and it didn't even budge. Goodbye.

Pros
  • So far everything seems
Cons
  • a bit torn

Very good case, possible radio interference.

This is a very high quality standard Raspberry Pi starter kit. I've bought countless of these over the years and they all came in plastic sleeves. This is my first experience with an all metal case. I've tried fans, fanless, and now aluminum cases designed for heat dissipation and I've never been disappointed, but each has its pros and cons and this case is no exception. I'm giving this case 4 stars because it works exactly as intended, but I'm not sure I would wholeheartedly recommend it as…

Pros
  • One year trial
Cons
  • Anything I can add

Great except for the HDMI cable

Great case. It comes with thermal grease that you apply to some of the key points where the case makes contact with some chips on the PCB, allowing the case to act as a heatsink. So far it's working great and I like it when the fan is quiet and I don't have to worry about mechanical failure. As already mentioned, the screw situation could be better. Just don't overtighten them. Only 4 stars because, as I said, the HDMI cable is bad. I connected to a 1080p monitor which I have used on the Pi3…

Pros
  • Looks good
Cons
  • Not sure

Perfect starter kit for Pi4

This is a solid kit. It has everything you need to get off the ground. The price suited me. I rated each item individually and the set was a better deal. The only thing that confuses me is the lack of access to the GPIO pins. At least cut a gap for the riser.

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • No performance

Suitable for use as a Linux box

Suitable for using a desktop Linux computer on my TV. Not yet ready for use as an HTPC at the time of testing, even on YouTube there is a lack of clarity. I use NVIDIA Shield as HTPC. As an HTPC, the Pi can't even come close to competing with the Shield.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Modern
