“My initial disappointment (when running other than the supplied microsd) vanished when I used a fast microsd card in the Pi4. Splendid value and performance.
I now have it in a very early Pitop casing that provides screen, keyboard and touch pad to which Pi4 is only connected via HDMI and USB, with separated power supplies. I cannot find anywhere a short enough male to male HDMI to mini HDMI cable to suit and so the generous length of the starter kit’s HDMI cable is an annoyance in this special case.”
“Very surprised at how powerful these little Pi's are. I bought it to replace a laptop that was constantly overheating and shutting down. So far it has outperformed the laptop and stays cool. I've installed Ubuntu 22.04 LTS onto a USB 3.0 thumb drive and it all boots and runs from this perfectly. Very impressed”
“I only bought the kit because I could not buy a pie on it's own. The PIe is great and I would have bought the recommended power supply. The micro usb card is too small for me and slow. The case is useless, I've had to mod mine so it can get decent airflow. The micro HDMI to normal HDMI is ok, but I would have purchased an adaptor as I have many HDMI cables. The service from the Pie Hut is very good. The original power supply was dead on arrival and replaced promptly.”
