“The Raspberry Pi 4 Desktop Kit - 8GB version - is an incredible well thought out blend of technology that makes the unboxing and configuration experience an absolute pleasure. I was really impressed with the OS integration, without even updating my laser printer was recognised out of the box and that's something that the major commercial operating sytems struggle with.
As a gift for an inquisitive 9 year old - perfect - it's primary use is as an IDE for various microbit projects and then of course youtube/email/minecraft/we'll port some microbit HW over as well as the confidence builds.”
“I looked at a few different companies before I ordered my Pi from Pimoroni.
It arrived the next day, well packaged. an email to confirm order, another to say its on its way and then to confirm it had been delivered.
now nearly 1 month on - My first Pi :) and I still think its cute. I went for the full desktop kit as I needed to get a keyboard and like the fact it had 3 usb connection on the keyboard and its a nice size.
been playing around with the different OS and getting to know linux.”
“My 10 year old son was very pleased with his Raspberry Pi and proud that he could put the computer together himself. The first thing he did was play Minecraft but has since created some Scratch programs and is gradually moving into more complicated programming. All in all, a great purchase and excellent value.”
“A nice little kit, everything works out of the box with minimal setup required.
I bought the RPI so that I could have my own little Linux environment sitting next to me for learning purposes.
I haven't really used the book included as it's aimed really at beginners or kids but I can see that its content is of high quality.”
