If you need a Pi, get the Cana kit. Everything you need to get started and building your Pi.

Official Pi stuff. Yay

The Power supply cable is very stiff and hard to manage against the Pi that only weighs a few ounces. Also the nature of Pi's is that often settings changes require hard power reboots. This P/S does not have a switch on the cable.The Pi is great, but I recommend buying it separate and a different 27 watt P/S with an inline switch.

Nice kit with nice power adapter. Nothing else to add. See photos.

I use this as my living room pc.

I have purchased several of these and continue to be impressed by the quality.

I want to use RPI5 to test IEEE1588/PTP since RPI5 ethernet support hardware timestamping, I am impress with the result, time precision is in nanosec with master clock.I find another use case, running ollama locally, with 8G RAM you can run many models, the response time to the question is quite good versus running ollama on laptop Intel, I am amaze how good AI can be executed locally with good result.Some models require more RAM, so I am looking for a bigger RAM RPI.Performance wise, it is quantum leap from previous RPI4.

I needed just a Pi 5 8GB but the CanaKit power supplies are good so no harm in getting that as well. I love Raspberry pis and usually get them from CanaKit.

I don't need a beginners kit or one with tons of extra parts - just the bare bones Raspberry Pi and a suitable power supply. I do prefer Canakit as they have not let me down in the past - buying from them since Raspberry pi 3 & 4.In use now several weeks without any problem. I did buy an active cooler afterward after reading reviews on heat dissipation with the 5.

Great kit, I got a case and external storage with it and I use it as a back up server, really cool product, portable and easy to setup, so far so good

J'ai acheté le CanaKit Raspberry Pi 5 Basic Kit avec 8 Go de RAM et il répond parfaitement à mes attentes. Voici mon évaluation détaillée :Points forts :💻 Performance exceptionnelle : Le Raspberry Pi 5 avec 8 Go de RAM est incroyablement puissant pour un ordinateur de taille compacte. Il gère facilement des tâches exigeantes comme la navigation web, la programmation et le multitâche, sans ralentissements.🔌 Kit complet : Le kit comprend tout ce dont vous avez besoin pour démarrer, à l’exception de la carte SD (qui est facilement trouvable). Le bloc d’alimentation, le câble HDMI, et le dissipateur thermique inclus sont parfaits pour une installation rapide et sans tracas.⚡ Amélioration notable de la vitesse : Le Pi 5 est bien plus rapide que les précédentes versions grâce à son nouveau processeur et à ses 8 Go de RAM. Il offre de meilleures performances pour des applications gourmandes en mémoire et pour la gestion de plusieurs programmes simultanément.🌍 Polyvalence : Que ce soit pour un projet IoT, une station de travail légère, ou pour des applications éducatives, ce kit est idéal pour de nombreux cas d’utilisation.Points faibles :🛑 Pas de carte SD incluse : Bien que cela soit indiqué dans la description, il faut se procurer une carte microSD séparée pour l’installation du système d’exploitation. Ce n'est pas un gros inconvénient, mais cela peut surprendre les débutants.🔊 Pas de boîtier inclus : Un boîtier pour protéger la carte serait un bon ajout dans ce kit de base, mais il est possible de l’acheter séparément.Conclusion : Le CanaKit Raspberry Pi 5 Basic Kit avec 8 Go de RAM est un excellent choix pour les passionnés de technologie et les utilisateurs expérimentés qui cherchent à construire un projet ou une station de travail légère. C'est un produit fiable, avec des performances solides, un montage facile, et un rapport qualité/prix impressionnant.

The raspberry pi 5 is really powerful for the price. I've never tried it but i expect it to be able to edit video and render in a decent time. It could probably edit 4k too. If you want fast, rock solid performance get an nvme hat and an m key gen3 ssd. Don't pay extra for speed because the pi is only going to get 1/4 the speed because of the single pcie lane. Make sure your ssd is compatible(most are) and put a heat sink on it, maybe a fan if you are doing write intensive workloads like recording video, and get a cooler for the pi too, i like the official cooler, or you could get a passive heatsink if you want it to be silent. Just be sure to get one that contacts all of the chips especially the power delivery next to the usb c. Don't forget to set your pcie link speed to gen3 instead of gen2 to get faster speeds. You can do this by opening terminal and typing "sudo raspi-config", selecting advanced options, then pcie link speed. Also update you eeprom with the raspberry pi image by going to misc utility images, then boot-loader, then selecting nvme/usb boot. once you flash an microsd card put it in you pi and wait until the led either turns off or stops blinking. If it doesn't work try another card. Microsd cards will die after about a year so so buy a few and back up your install every week or so so you don't loose any data with the sd card copier under accessories in raspberry pi os. I like the kingston canvas go plus. I'm pretty sure it's the fastest of the bunch. if you want multiple devices on the pcie you can find splitters if you want to run an npu(i like hailo ai chips)and an nvme and what ever else, You can daisy chain them together so if you wanted to do something like build a nas with nvme drives, you could, At least i think. I don't know how many of them you can stack until they stop working. you will probably need and external power supply if you are running more than like 2 or 3 devices. and I don't think booting to an nvme through a splitter is supported yet so get that kingston card or the samsung bar. It's the fastest usb stick for a good price. and it comes in 512gb which is a pretty good size. It will be a lot more reliable than an sd card as well. I don't know how the speed compares thought, probable faster. I've made a video camera with a pi5, a cheap tripod, a hq camera module, a cannon lense adapter, usb 3.0 hub, an nvme hat, a 7 1/4" 1200 x 600 display, and an nvme drive drive in an orico enclosure which I highly recommend because it actually has a heatsink and a thermal pad unlike every other one except for sabrent i think, but I didn't get that one because they lock you into using sabrent drives to write images if i'm remembering correctly. And just for fun i wrote this on my pi. That's it. I hope this has been helpful for you. Also, I Know my stuff. I have an AA in computer science. Have a good one guy and gals. :) God Bless You.

Canakit electronics have never done me wrong. Very happy with them every time. The price point is on par with all others, so it's the same price anywhere, a little bit higher for the Raspberry Pi 5. But what a decent device for the projects I'm working on.
