The Raspberry Pi can be used for many different types of projects and these kits from CanaKit give you everything you need to get started with just one stop. When I received the kit I ran into some issues that appeared to originate from the factory; therefore, it does not reflect on CanaKit. In fact CanaKit customer support went above and beyond in solving my issue.If you are looking for everything you need to get started in the world of the Pi then it is a no-brainer to get your kit right here! Taking the time looking around to find each of these pieces might save you a buck or two, but why bother? Isn’t your time worth anything? I have bought allot of these boards from different venders and the customer support you get from this company is well worth the couple of dollars you pay for their service.I am a contractor who is hired to build/design electronic devices to fit specific needs, and like everyone else I found myself with not enough hours in the day to do everything I needed too. This caused me to buy my first kit through this company because of the time it saved me in looking for each part individually.Not only will I be buying from this company again, but I am going to look further into the different kits they offer. I don’t know about any of you out there, but great customer service means more to me than running into an issue once in a while.Just to be clear: I do not work for this company and have no affiliation with them other than being a customer. When I write my reviews I base them totally on my personal experiences with the product and/or dealing with the company. I get nothing out of writing this review other than helping others decide whether or not to purchase this product from this company.

In case you hadn't noticed, ALL Raspberry Pi processor boards cost the same. Why? Because the price is fixed and controlled by the Raspberry Pi organization. I'm not complaining about this, but it does beg the question as to why you would pick one supplier over another.The key differentiators are:1. Power Supply - is there one and how good is it? The official power supply is designed to plug into virtually any outlet on the planet. Consequently it's huge. The one included in this kit will allow you to plug other things into a duplex or quadruple outlet (like I have in my shop).2. Enclosure - is there one and how good is it? I like the 'official' enclosure slightly better than this one for one reason - it is a bit more modular, but this one is decent quality and may provide better ventilation than the original. Originally I thought that I couldn't install a GPIO cable and put the cover on this one, but happily discovered that there is a gap, large enough for the cable, between the top and the side of this enclosure. A RaspberryPi 'Hat' should fit ok, but I personally haven't tried that.3. Price - as I mentioned, the Processor price is fixed, but the add-ons aren't. This kit is about the lowest price I've seen for what it includes.4. Extras - this is where this kit really shines. It includes a short cable that you insert between the power supply and the Pi. The cable has a switch that toggles the power on and off and an LED to show you that the power is on - useful when starting up and you don't want to plug in a powered cable to your Pi. I haven't seen this in any other kit, certainly not at this price. If you've used other kits, powering off your Pi requires physically disconnecting the microUSB connector or unplugging the wall wart - either way, not as convenient as simply pressing the switch.Updated: to fix comment about ribbon cable.

Good kit but it’s kinda expensive

This is my first Raspberry Pi and I wonder how I got along without one. It's so tiny and yet so powerful and handy. I use mine with my 3D printer. What makes the Raspberry Pi so darn cool is that it can be changed from one function to another by simply changing out one tiny SD card. I later added the Raspberry Pi camera so now I also have video available while I my printer is running. This is super convenient if I need to step out for a while. I can check in with my phone to make sure everything is going well, and if not, I can shut things down. I am not sure how I ever managed with out one. All I needed to do to get started was pickup a USB mouse and keyboard and plug in a monitor. Power it up and it's ready to go. Setting up the SD card was also very easy. There are a lot of videos on Youtube that show just how it's done. What could be better? What really makes it shine is the versatility and low cost. For me, it's a 3D printer controller, for someone else it's a retro game machine, and for another it's a file server. The versatility is amazing. If it breaks, just plug the SD into a new one are you are up and running again. What's not to love? It wasn't so many years ago that my entire desktop computer system had less power than this little Raspberry Pi does. That's really cool too.
