Great value, fast delivery and super quick Pi. Great kit for people to enjoy programming or use as a fast cheap Internet computer.

Arrived very quickly and was simple to set up. I'm actually using it as a desktop replacement, using 64-bit Pi OS and Cinnamon. All the commonly used sites such as Netflix and YouTube work great. YouTube is noticeably faster when using a 64-bit OS.

From order to delivery took just over 24 hours which was impressive. Although the outer packaging is not part of the product, I was impressed by the very professional way it was presented. In these days of "rush", it was very pleasant to see the address label positioned neatly on the box giving me the impression that the person who packed it cared about what they were doing. The Raspberry Pi 400 Personal Computer Kit itself is superb and I certainly wasn't disappointed, confirming the considerable number of good reviews made by respected magazines etc. The Ribbon Extension Cable, ordered at the same time, is a simple, well made product for which I can say little and there is no reason to suspect that it won't give me years of service. In conclusion, I would certainly recommend you to my friends and I will probably be ordering again from you soon.

Fantastic value. Using it to run Raspberry Pi OS as well as Ubuntu and Manjaro. I just have each OS on a separate Micro SD card. All three OSs work well. Ubuntu is a little slow but Manjaro and Raspberry Pi OS run really well. Can't fault it for the money and Pimoroni had one in stock which was a bonus given how hard they are to find at the moment. I've hooked it up to a Full HD monitor via HDMI. Cracking bit of kit. I had a couple of issues; the OE mouse scroll wheel did not work but I had a spare Logitech which is nicer anyway. Also, With Raspberry PI OS you must force an update straight away as there are some issues on the stock OS that the update fixes. Out of the box with the stock OS, the Wi-Fi connection is flakey but after the update it is rock solid. Basically, if you have a monitor, you get a fully functional desktop PC for under £100. It's perfect for general productivity and browsing but a bit lacking for media and great for starting out learning to code or master Linux. Recommended.

Excellent iteration of the Raspberry Pi. The compact case neatly packages the kit and looks really nice. All the ports are labelled and ready for use. All you need to get started comes included in the kit.

This little package certainly packs a mighty punch! With everything in the box needed to get going apart from a suitable TV or monitor and with very clear and easy to follow book on how to get started with some of the included software, it is an excellent way to start learning programming with a Raspberry Pi.

I got this in order to use Octoprint for 3D printing control and the RPI4 is as rare as hens' teeth. Very easy to use and set up. The supplied SD card is 'slow' so would recommend burning your chosen OS onto a faster card (I recently bought a SSD instead). Would recommend; excellent value for money - just don't expect it to be an iMac!
