Vilros Pi 4 Basic Kit review

A Pi 4 kit built around a fan-cooled aluminum case and a switched supply. It does not include an SD card, so budget for one.

Case

A metal case acts as a large heat sink.

Missing card

Add a card and a cable to the price.

Compared

The CanaKit costs $30 more, and it is complete.
