This is my first raspberry pi. The ease of putting together the case (with the help of the instructions that arrive with the kit) was a quick task. I've now been running the raspberry pi with the kit and it's been smooth sailing. The only thing I would recommend is maybe buying some rubber feet to put on the case unless you're putting it on a surface that is already grippy.

Received exactly what I ordered and early.

I can't believe how fast retropie games run on the Pi 5!

The little RPI 5 is amazing and I especially like the availability of Mathematica with RPI boards. I am a bit of a novice with programming so I would appreciate it if the ability to connect with a printer was included in the software. I have never been able to program it, in my RPI 3 or RPI 4. I bought the starter kit- don’t know why- I already have cables and good cases with cooling fans. The basic kit comes with a clear plastic case, which doesn’t seem to fit my board.
In total, I would still give my purchase 5 stars because of the overall capabilities of the RPI 5.

I was astonished by the quality. This is much nicer than i ever imagined. The acrylic clear plastic case is very complementary and is of very nice quality with plastic to peal off each surface. It looks nice function nice, the baggy is great it was also very shocking quality, nice and soft extra padding, and compartment for stuff like sd cards. I have been using it for about a month, it's only been off and not being used while i'm sleeping. I'm a regular power user for coding and games like Fallout 76. It may not play Fallout 76, but everything else is pretty unbelievable. Web stuff like youtube is crazy good, i use it on a 4k screen for surveys and google play games all day, it's better than an xbox experience for them never played Candy Crush it was much more interesting in 4k on a big screen. it's very shocking quality with all of it's tasks. My big desktop has been unnecessary. I wanted one to run as a web server and data science from school, this is way too nice and useful though. I'll have to buy another or a used, I can't leave this one alone has already made my life extremely convenient and has become extremely personal right away. Really could never leave this one alone by the router for webpage stuff like planned. It really goes through files like an animal. Their may even be small tasks this is better than my big pc, for what it does. It's a fascinating fun useful experience . This my arguably be my best $100 spent , this is a very nice kit, very happy with it! :)
