    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 January 2017

    This is a great kit. As someone completely new to Linux I wasn't sure quite how easy this was going to be to set up. Pleasingly, it was dead simple!

    The kit comes with everything you need except a keyboard, mouse and HDMI lead (or monitor/screen).

    In the box you get the raspberry pi motherboards in an anti-static bag, a micro SD card with the raspbian operating system on it and NOOBS installer, an adapter for that card to go into a standard SD reader, a power supply and a case (with 4 little Robert feet).

    The motherboard is very sturdy, has 40 input and output pins for attaching accessories, a micro sd card reader, standard size HDMI output and a DSI display connector, 4 USB slots, a 5v micro USB power input, a CSI camera connector, a 3.5mm audio input/output socket and an Ethernet port. It's amazing how much food on the board. On top of this, the board supports Bluetooth and Wi-Fi.

    The board just drops into the case and the lid clips into place on top holding it in securely. There are removable panels which unclip to allow access to the I/o pins without taking the case apart. I had this flying around the bottom of my bag for a few weeks and it protected the pi perfectly.

    Clipping everything together took under a minute, after which, i powered it up connected to a monitor. The OS loaded up and I was away. It comes with a web browser, a basic equivalent of ME office, and some other programs, so you could use it as a very basic PC straight away if you wanted.

    It connected to my Wi-Fi with no issue, and I now use it to run Homebridge to connect all my devices to Apple's HomeKit. It took so little time and was so easy to set up I was blown away. Really tempted to get another one to use to power a retro video game table.

    Can't recommend highly enough

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 November 2016
    Style Name: SingleVerified Purchase
    Already having several Raspberry Pi 2s, I wanted to try this new version for the increased speed and built in WiFi. I knew what I was letting myself in for and could have bought the components separately, but this seemed just as cheap and was a convenient way to get hold of the necessary bits in one go.

    Note that if you don't already have them, you'll also need a USB mouse and keyboard plus an HDMI cable to hook it up to a TV. In my case I already had all that so this kit was ideal.

    As you would expect, the quality of all parts is very high. The power supply is easily up to the job (not all others will be as the RPi3 does need quite a bit of current). I particularly like the case which comes apart into several bits to allow easy installation of the Raspberry Pi itself, and then slots neatly back together leaving access to the ports clear. The top cover is removable to allow access to the GPIO pins, but I'm not sure there'd be room for a hat to be installed in there.

    Truth be told I'm not running anything terribly processor-intensive on it, but it does seem perfectly responsive with everything I've tried. The built-in WiFi is really easy to configure and works well.

    Very happy with it - recommended!

    5.0 out of 5 stars All you need to get your pi up and running quickly
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 May 2017
    Style Name: SingleVerified Purchase
    I was most impressed with this - I ordered at 5pm and it was with me next day. Amazon often lumps all reviews for related products together, so just to be clear I ordered the Desktop Starter Kit which comprises the Pi 3, a case, a 16gb micro SD card with the Noobs image preinstalled (and a SD card adapter so you can read it in card readers, and a power supply (micro USB).

    This is pretty much all you need to get your Pi up and running. Most people will want to connect up a keyboard, mouse, ethernet cable and monitor/TV using an HDMI cable but it is possible to set it up in headless mode if you know what you're doing (e.g. without connecting to a monitor/TV).

    I have a Pi 2 (somewhere) but I ordered this to have another play with emulation (the Pi 3 is pretty fast, considering the price) and also something called Pi Hole which works as ad blocker for all devices in your house (so your phones, tablets, TVs etc will all have fewer ads clogging them up when you're using them on your home wifi).

    The Pi fits in the case perfectly and without too much hassle. It's handy having an SD card with Noobs preinstalled also, and if you add up the cost of buying the parts individually it works out about the same as buying them in this kit.

    I couldn't connect my keyboard to the Pi as it uses an old PS/2 connector but I managed to work around this limitation by booting into Noobs (it does this by default) and installing Raspbian and Retropie by clicking the mouse. The Pi then lets you dualboot. I booted into Raspbian, enabled both SSH and VNC server and managed to remote in to the Pi using a laptop. From there it was pretty straightforward.

    All in all I'm very happy with the purchase and I can heartily recommend this to anyone who wants a cheap Linux-based computer to tinker with. And I'm pleased to say I didn't get paid for this review!

    Reviewed in France on 3 October 2019

    J'hésitais depuis longtemps à acheter un Raspberry-Pi, aucun regret. C'est petit, simple et performant pour un usage basique en informatique. Je l'utilise pour Internet, de la bureautique et retro-gaming. Seul défaut, la mémoire vive, il n'y en a pas beaucoup, il faut donc éviter de charger plus de 5 pages Internet en même temps. Avec le port HDMI, ça se branche très simplement sur la télévision, très pratique pour streamer depuis Netflix.
    On peut changer la carte SD très facilement et donc changer d'OS et d'usage très rapidement. Il y a plein d'OS pré-configurés pour de la musique, de la vidéo ou des jeux.

    Este pedido lo hice para un regalo que al final no pudo ser y por eso lo devolví. Aun así no es la primera raspberry pi que tengo. Es un producto tecnológico fácil de usar para todo tipo de usuarios porque aunque instalar el sistema operativo (si no compras este kit que viene con el sistema en la SD) o cambiárselo puede ser un poco más complicado para quienes no lo disfruten, toda la documentación que hay sobre raspberry facilita mucho el trabajo.

    No es un ordenador como para usar todos los dias para trabajar o actividades más creativas pero es muy recomendable para todo amante de la tecnología que quiera iniciar a niños, adolescentes o a otras personas interesadas ya que tiene una gran utilidad educativa y es una forma distinta de enseñar.

    Sobre lo que trae el kit, muy completo con completar con un teclado que tenga pad para usar el puntero o con un conjunto que tengamos por casa esta sobrado.
    LO MEJOR: Viene preparado para que sea plug and play
    LO PEOR: me parece un poco caro porque si quieres encuentras las partes por separadas.

    Kit arrivato prima del previsto. Perfetto in tutti i suoi componenti anche se con un imballo spartano. Questa è la mia seconda Raspberry Pi e rispetto alla precedente c'è un abbisso. La versione 3 con il quadcore da 1,2GHz, 1 GB di ram, una mini SD con NOOBS, alimentatore e case... è perfetta per sostituire un pc di fascia media. Io li utilizzo entrambi come portatili. Il sistema operativo Linux (ho installato su entrabe RASPBIAN) ha preinstallato molti applicativi per: Office, Mail, Mediacenter, ed altri. Per chi vuole un pc a basso costo è perfetta e si troverà estremamente soddisfatto.
    Kit ideale, inoltre, per imparare a programmare; provate, giocate, fate pratica con questo piccolo gioiello in futuro non si sa mai.
    Ottimo prodotto che sicuramente consiglio.

    Ich habe mir den Raspberry Pi3 geholt, um ihn als Medienserver bei mir zuhause zu installieren. Funktioniert tadellos.
    Auspacken, zusammenbauen (die Platine in das Gehäuse packen), anschließen, installieren und genießen. Einfacher geht's nicht. Auf der mitgelieferten SD-Karten ist ein "Startmenü" installiert aus welchem man wählen kann was man gerne installieren möchte. Ich habe mich für Kodi entschieden. Die Installation selber ist selbsterklärend. Den Anweisungen folgen und schon hat man einen Medienserver der perfekt funktioniert. Das erkennen von externen Festplatten funktioniert problemlos. Einfach an einen von den 4 USB Anschlüssen einstecken und im Menü auswählen wenn man darauf zugreifen möchte. Die Erkennung im Heimischen Netzwerk klappte ebenfalls Problemlos so das man seine Videos, Musik und Photos einfach überspielen kann.

    Ich bin sehr zufrieden, man benötigt keine Eingabegeräte da man alles mehr oder weniger einfach mit der Fernbedienung des Fernsehers einstellen kann. Mit einer angeschlossenen USB-Tastatur geht es aber schneller und einfacher.

    Kleine Informationen die ich selber nicht in der Produktbeschreibung gefunden habe.
    USB sind USB2.0
    W-Lan Modul ist vorhanden (Ich selbst nutze aber den LAN-Anschluß, habe nur bemerkt, dass ich auch per W-LAN mich zum Heimnetzwerk connecten hätte können)
    Extra Kühlrippen zum Einbau sind von Vorteil, da beim kopieren der Daten der Raspberry schon "etwas" beansprucht wird.
    HDMI Kabel ist von Vorteil, gerade was die Installation angeht, ich habe es noch nicht geschafft von meinem Rechner per "Remotezugriff" auf den Raspberry zuzugreifen.

    Unterm Strich:
    Kaufen, auspacken, Spaß haben

    Io l'ho acquistato per retrogaming con retropie in accoppiata con gamepad e case nespi. Niente da dire, semplicemente perfetto.
    Molto versatile comunque, si può davvero utilizzare per fare qualsiasi cosa: ultrasupportato, trovate in giro immagini preconfigurate praticamente per qualsiasi cosa, e se non trovate quello che vi serve, è facile comunque farci quello che vi serve visto che ci girano varie distribuzioni linux.
    Ottime prestazioni e connettività completa: bluetooth, wifi, lan, 4 usb... Manca solo un tasto on off sull'alimentatore, ma è cosa nota.
