Everything you need to get started is in the kit, and the pi 4vis a great piece of kit. One issue for me is that the pi 4 will overheat in the case supplied and so the pi 4 will throttle cpu speed. This is not useful when streaming full HD videos. I understand that there is now a case with fan in available, and this would be better for the starter kit. Another observation is that there is no switch on the power adapter. As the pi doesn't have one either it means using the mains switch or removing the supply from the pi 4. A couple of years ago I purchased a starter kit for pi 3 and the supply had a switch. This is much more convenient and usable.

This is a real value for money kit. With the HD display and extra memory the Pi is better than ever. Everything worked straight out of the box and it was simple to set up. Thanks - Paul

The kit included everything I needed and in a short time everything was set-up and running. I'm primarily using this as a DAAP Server for all my music and it's been running continuously now for weeks with no issues. So, very pleased with the service, prices and useful information on the Pi Hut web site.

After Pi3 the Pi4 is turbo-charged by comparison. Kit all you need to go including pre-loaded SD card.

I love the Raspberry Pi 4, it's a huge upgrade to the original model B that I have owned for many years. I was very impressed with The Pi Hut, the product was well packaged and delivered very quickly, I also found their prices to be very competitive and I had everything I needed to flash the OS and get started. Why 4 stars rather than 5? After around 2 or 3 days the Pi stopped booting, I discovered this was because the SD card failed and the Pi has been fine since I replaced it. To be fair to the Pi Hut I did not contact them to report the fault so do not know if they would have offered a replacement card. My only other gripe is that whilst the case looks great the Pi gets very hot in there (possibly why the SD card died) so I'm having to use it with the lid off. Would definitely use the Pi Hut again but would maybe go for a different case and SD card next time.

Can recommend getting the Pi 4. I have two children 8 and 10 and has worked out great for them also fitting in with some work they are doing at school. Easy to set up and arrived super quick too.
