The Raspberry Pi 4, now available with 8 Gigabytes and this Canakit is a great way to get everything needed to get started, so we decided to check it out in this review.

In this video we’ll unbox, setup and review a Raspberry Pi 4 8GB start up kit from Canakit. This is a basic kit that gives you everything you need to set up the included Raspberry Pi 4 microcomputer except for the video screen, keyboard and mouse. So if you’re like me and had those spare computer components lying around, you may want to check out this review of the Canakit starter kit for this newest version of the Pi 4 with it’s maxed out 8 Gigabytes of memory.

We’ll show you everything that comes in the kit and how you put it all together to have a functioning Raspberry Pi 4 and give you our honest impressions. Normally this sells for $119 on Amazon.com which is where we bought this one from. I did have some issues with some odd bands showing on the video screen, likely due to filming 30 frames per second while the screen was projecting 60 frames. Apologies in advance for that, but I thought it was important enough content to not edit it out.

This kit comes with a “Premium” Black Plastic case that snaps together easily, along with the power supply, one Micro HDMI to regular HDMI cable and a 32GB micro SD card that is preloaded with NOOBS so you can get yourself up and running as soon as you fire it up.

So if you’re considering buying this basic Canakit to avoiding having to buy all the parts you need separately, this may be the video for you. Hope you like it!
