CanaKit Raspberry Pi 5 Starter Kit Turbine Black (128GB Edition) (8GB RAM)

Easy to setup. I'm using this as a Homebridge server and was able to assemble and setup within minutes. This is the first Raspberry Pie I've ever setup too.

My CanaKit Raspberry Pi 5 Starter Kit PRO (with NOOBs software on the SD card) was shipped on time, intact, with no parts missing, and was well packaged. I put together the Pi 5 on the durable plastic case and the fit was perfect. The CanaKit power supply was well-made and worked as specified. It was easy to put the heat sinks on and insert the fan into the top cover of the case. When the Raspberry Pi was fully assembled I used my USB Logitec key board and USB mouse and Insignia smart TV 24 inch screen as an HDMI monitor. Now, I could control the computer. Everything worked well! As advertised, the Pi came with Mathematica which was easy to install and run. I have had excellent luck with Cana kits for the Pi 3 B+ as well as the Pi 5. With all the Python help one can get on the web and with web help using the Raspberrian terminal language, younger students as well as "seasoned veterans" can learn alot from this special, versitile computer.

This Kit packs everything you need to dive straight into advanced projects. With 8GB of RAM and a 128GB card, it runs smoothly even under demanding workloads, while the turbine-style case keeps it cool and quiet. Setup is simple, components feel premium, and performance is noticeably faster than older Pi models. Whether you’re building a media center, server, or coding workstation, this kit offers serious capability in a compact, well-thought-out package.

Kit arrived with a mismatch of components and not as advertised. No assembly instructions or documentation. False advertising. Very disappointing.

Such a great starter Kit! I was not disappointed by the quality of craftsmanship of this Kit. CanaKit has not let me down Yet! So much stronger than the Pi4B... Nice smooth interface... preinstalled Bookworm OS, awesome fan and case as always!
