I'm completely new to the Raspberry-Pi, and its Linux operating system named Raspbian. I have to say I was very pleasantly surprised by this purchase.Initial set-up was straightforward, with a wireless keyboard & mouse and our 26" Samsung TV (type LE26B450) attached, prior to turning on the Pi - worked a treat. As advertised, the Pi came with mains power supply pack, a 16GB SD-card with Raspbian (NB: username & password is on SD-card case - you'll need this), a robust protective case, and the very compact computer circuit board. Putting it all together is straightforward.Everyone has their own personal reason for buying a Pi - mine was to upgrade our Samsung TV , which can now do the following,

What you get in the box:1. It has the official UK manufactured Raspberry Pi. Nice to know. For instructions you have to look at the raspberry website.2. It has the official case - which has a removable top and two sides which are also removable. The two status LEDs are connected by optical light pipes to the front of the case. A lot of thought went into the design of it so you won't be disappointed.3. It has the official PSU - 5.1V 2.5A 13W. It's important to get the "right" PSU otherwise some users have reported problems with the GPU colours and/or SD Cards. Although the Pi needs about 0.5A max the USB ports can also provide power e.g. to an external drive and there are four of them.

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)

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,

This is my first Raspberry Pi. The kit contains everything I need since I already have Ethernet and HDMI cables and an SDHC card reader. Having seen some kits come with heatsinks I wondered if the lack of them would be a problem but it runs very cool, probably because it isn't doing anything graphically intensive.I've been running tv-headend, the TV PVR backend, on a Synology NAS but Synology software upgrades keep breaking it so I wanted to move it off the NAS and bought the Pi for the purpose. The Pi runs headless, using the NAS via NFS for TV program storage. I used to be a Unix systems programmer 30 years ago and have very occasionally dabbled with Linux some time back so I'm fortunate in not being a novice even though much of my relevant knowledge is dated.

Can't believe I didn't jump on the Pi bandwagon sooner, but now that I'm on it I can see what the fuss is all about.What did I like:The Pi 3 is a step up to previous models with upgraded specs (see the description), and is very easy to setup and use. Being new to the Pi scene I opted for this starter kit in order to simplify the process, and would recommend that path for anyone to dipping their toe in.I'm still playing around with it at present but have played around with SSH connection to the Pi, from my phone, tablet and a couple of other machines. As an IT professional I'm using it to play around and learn with, but will buy one for my 9 year old nephew who I think will enjoy the learning process.There's a lot of additional accessories you can get with this,

I have been interested in the Raspberry Pi ever since it was first released. Now, after lots of dithering, I splashed out on one. What is special about this Starter Kit is that it brings all the essentials together in one easy package. No more trying to work out what you need, and which case or power supply is better. An all-in-one package like this is just the thing for a serial ditherer (and at 61 I am good at dithering)!The case supplied is a really good fit, and actually looks quite stylish. Unused ports can be blocked off, and revealed later if needed. I have had no trouble with the power supply, and the whole thing went together like a dream. There are good instructions included,

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).

If you're thinking about getting a pi, this is probably a good place to start. Nothing except the pi and the sd card is essential, but having a case will give you more confidence if you're either moving it about or if you're using it for something that doesn't require access to the GPIO pins (although you can remove parts of the case to give you access, if you're not using angled headers they're not what I'd call easy access).A solid power supply is a must, although it can run off a USB cable, performance could be affected so a mains one is great. Also lets it be plugged in anywhere if you're using it as a server, NAS,

I bought this as a device to stream Youtube and Netflix to a HDMI TV, but the Pi3 unfortunately disappointed in this area.If you are considering streaming Youtube at 1080p on a Pi3, you can forget about it. 720p was just about achievable, but I wouldn't have called it steady.Also, Chromium which is included with Raspbian, doesn't support Netflix as standard (gives an error for Widevine plugin). I tried a number of ways to resolve this, there are numerous suggestions online, but couldn't get it working. By this stage I was losing hope for the Pi3 to be my streaming media player anyway.Having said all that though, the next option for me was to use the Pi3 as a retro gaming console,

Raspberry Pi is a biggest innovation since introducing PC for home users! People who behind that project should receive Nobel Prize or at least reward in consumer electronics. I felt like teenager again staying all night setting my RPi3. I found that best thing to do is to install Kweb (instruction you can find online). It is web browser which have many functions one of them is Omxplayer GUI - that help you to run almost all media files without typing commands in terminal. My solution for lack of black border in Omxplayer during movie playback is terminal command: xset s 60. After 60 sec screen becomes black and you can enjoy movie but you need to look out and don't touch keyboard or mouse.

This has been the easiest Raspberry Pi to set up of all the ones we've had so far (we've got a few Pi 2 models A and B): connect a keyboard, a mouse, a monitor, and off it goes, including setting itself up painlessly for wireless communications (probably more common these days than having a wired connection). Raspian is straightforward, and quite friendly, although don't be fooled: this is not a desktop or a laptop PC still; the GUI might lure you into thinking so.Where I think this kit could be improved is in what's being delivered. A hobbyist might easily have a spare keyboard and mouse, and rustle up some cables, and dust off an old monitor, but for someone who's just started,

I purchased the kit as a Christmas present and I was pleased that it contained all of the items needed to get going, all branded with the official Raspberry Pi logo. One of the features I liked with this kit was that it offered a 16GB SD card - some of the other kits on sale provided only 8GB but I though the extra storage would be useful for data or additional apps. In offering it as a present, perhaps the only things lacking would be some instructions and a cardboard box to contain the kit - in fact all the items were neatly contained in blue plastic - and if you are a novice you will need to access the information on how to get going on the Raspberry Pi website. I was expecting that the Pi would be run 'headless'

The most annoying thing is that I needed this kit desperately to build a replacement streaming device for a community radio station and prime next day was the best solution to save me hassle. I ordered the 16Gb kit but received the 8Gb micro SD card instead and no micro to regular SD card adaptor. I decided to go with this configuration anyway due to lack of time to return the kit to then find that the Noobs install is too big to install on the 8Gb card which meant I couldn't even start the device up! Unfortunately this meant I had to then go out and face the great unwashed in a retail establishment miles away in the opposite direction to purchase a 16Gb card,

Exactly what it says on the tin - a teeny tiny computer ideal for any technology tinkerer. In the last week I have spent a couple of hours setting up a home NAS server, experimenting with streaming content to my TV, accessed the pi remotely from my work laptop and used it to activate my sleeping PC - all sorts of fun geeky stuff. There is probably nothing it can do that you can't get a dedicated bit of tech for instead, but the pleasure is all in the dorkiness of doing it yourself. Also, a quick and easy way to get familiar with Linux that doesn't require dual booting it to a home or work PC etc.Next project I'm planning is to set it up for some retro NES gaming (Shovel Knight has given me a Mega Man itch)
