CanaKitRaspberry Pi 5 Starter Kit PRO - Turbine Black (128GB Edition) (8GB RAM)

Awesome kit. Running custom built Flutter app on it to monitor server metrics. 8gb memory is great, hardly uses any. Nice having the 128g storage. Highly recommend. Debated getting a RPi 4B over the 5 at first, but decided more RAM the better. Doesn't get hot at all. Hooked up to a 10.1 screen with stand. 3D printed a bracket for it to adapt to screen.Not too bad for price, if you're into microcontrollers, you know it gets addicting. Definitely a fast little machine. Transfered folder between my RPi 3B+ using scp, no issues. Easy to setup. Runs and builds the Flutter apps no problem either. I run VS Code on the machine. Still have 118gb left for storage.

I got this CanaKit Raspberry Pi 5 Starter Kit PRO (Turbine Black, 128GB, 8GB RAM) during a Lightning Deal, and I'm extremely satisfied with the purchase. Everything I needed was included, and buying the components separately would’ve definitely cost more.The full-size heatsink and active cooling fan were essential for my setup, especially since I mounted the Raspberry Pi inside a Wireway enclosure. This kit made it easy to get everything in place without worrying about overheating. Installation was straightforward and hassle-free.I used this kit for a solar system monitoring project using Solar Assistant, both for remote access and Kiosk mode on a touchscreen monitor adapted for the Raspberry Pi 5. Everything worked perfectly, and the project was a success.

The Raspberry Pi 5 seems to have a good upgrade in speed and 8GB is a decent amount of RAM for a Pi. Shipping was fast, it arrived the same day. Setup was literally plug and play.

The Canakit 8GB Raspberry Pi Kit offers everything you need to get started with the Raspberry Pi in one package. It includes the powerful Raspberry Pi 5 with 8GB of RAM, a pre-installed microSD card with Raspberry Pi OS, power supply, HDMI cables, heatsinks, and a case. This kit provides excellent performance for a wide range of tasks, from media centers to home automation projects. The 8GB of RAM ensures smooth multitasking and better handling of more demanding applications. It's a great option for those looking for an all-in-one solution for Raspberry Pi enthusiasts, especially at a reasonable price considering the included accessories.

This is a pretty cool kit. I really liked the fan and heatsink included.Couple things I would change as it’s something marketed toward beginners though.For starters, I didn’t realize there was a micro sd slot on the bottom of the Pi (or even to look for it) I was plugging it into the usb adapter and then plugging the usb into the Pi. Call me stupid— but i genuinely didn’t know.Spent a couple hours trying to get it to boot. In that scenario it would post but wouldn’t load the GUI so it was super misleading.Eventually I just installed the OS on a USB and posted it that way until I cloned it over onto an NVME. I think a really easy fix would be to just add a little placard labeling each part of the Pi— maybe some arrows connecting the parts. Etc.Second issue I had was, as a starter kit, I didn’t like that you get a little bottlenecked by the case right off the bat. I feel like the starter kit should include a case the leaves room for growth. But that’s just my opinion.Overall though, i love it. Hosting websites and databases for personal use from it. Works like a champ. Stays impressively cool too with that fan.

This is my 2nd Cana kit and it did not disappoint.The setup/assembly wasn't too hard and there is a lot of supporting documentation to assist.Good value vs sourcing the pieces independently. Quality is fine, if not super high end. Pieces all fit together well.

PERFECT!!!I have not delved into a Raspberry Pi until today, easy build, kit came with everything needed. Would recommend

Great value pi that worked out of the box. Initially came with a broken SD Card but I messaged the vendor and they sent me a replacement free of charge. In love with overall and great for learners.
