I needed to upgrade from my Pi 3+ to a Pi5 and this kit was pefect. Very quick and easy. I had my Pi5 up and running in no time at all. Unfortunately, I didn't think ahead. The Pi5 is so much of a step up, I realised that adding an SSD was then required. Which in turn needs a hat. The case that comes with this kit can only house a Pi5 on it's own - no hats. I've now ordered an SSD plus hat and a new case to house it all. It sadly means I now have a Pi5 case I no longer need, but that's my fault for not planning ahead.

Easy to put together, we bought the book which had the instructions but I'm sure anyone could work it out as I don't think where werre instructions - but it's simple. We guessed the heat sink went on the processor. We were very pleased to quickly get going with Scratch and a keyboard trainer to teach touch typing. 8 year old likes exploring it and younger grandchildren are having a go. The kit came with a monitor lead with HDMI connection which worked on our TV but we used an old monitor and bought another lead online with VGA connector for it.

Best gift for my husband, I have no idea what this is, but my husband was over the moon about it. I haven't seen him so happy in the last few years

I know nothing about compputers and being 74 its a steep learning curve. I set up the pi downloaded the os a wireless key board and mouse and speakers all working. Surfing the net getting feel of the os. Great product looking forward to learning more.

I'm new to Raspberry Pi - I love it, I've got a tonne of projects that I'm wanting to do with it. The benefits of having a changeable, bootable micro SD are massive!

Very quick delivery. The starter kit is a package of components and for what I wanted, it was perfect. Easy to put together.
