“It's good. Compact, reliable and works out of the box. While not as powerful as a mini-PC within the same price-range, the Raspberry Pi uses a trivial amount of electricity to keep itself running, can be tucked away in a drawer, and is still powerful enough to run a simple home-server. While the keyboard isn't the nicest to use, it's adequate and can be quickly ignored once the initial setup is completed, thanks to the Pi Connect software, which is absolutely fantastic. The plain white body isn't as attractive as the white/red body of the Pi 400, but as a device that works best when tucked away and hidden, this isn't a big deal. The Desktop Kit is reasonably priced, and includes everything you could possibly want, save a screen.”

“This was the perfect Raspberry Pi model for an absolute novice like me. worked straight out of the box. Takes up minimal space on my desk as it is all built into the keyboard. Lots of terminals for cables, video, USB etc. Runs cool at around 39C without any additional cooling and very little power required so can be left on continiously for me monitoring aircraft using ADS-B and virtual radar.”

“This is a great kit. Everything you need in one box. It comes very attractively packaged and is easy to set up and get started. The guide book provided is clear and well-written. The only slight downside is that it refers to the Pi 400 rather than the 500, and thus is slightly behind the times, but there's no significant difference anyway from the way you interact with it so this is not a problem. Great value for money.”

“I am new to the Pi world and was pleasantly surprised how fast/easy it was to connect and start. Also the software supplied for free is outstanding. From programming to surfing the net or just using the Libre office suite for spreadsheets/word processing etc. Great value and fun. Thank you.”
