With this new level of hardware, the Raspberry Pi 4 truly is a viable dual-display desktop computer. At the top edge of the Raspberry Pi 4 is a row of 40 pins and these are what we call the GPIO (General Purpose Input/Output) header pins. These pins are what makes the Raspberry Pi board so special as you can connect sensors, motors and a variety of devices to these pins and control them with the Raspberry Pi. A full desktop computer kit that contains everything you need to get started with Raspberry Pi 4 - just add an HDMI display (or two). Please note, we are currently transitioning from the NOOBS operating system installer to Raspberry Pi OS on all of our pre-loaded SD cards. If you receive a NOOBS card, simply select and install the Raspberry Pi OS option.

Essentials kits are now available with a choice of power supply. Be sure to select the correct one for your region! This powerful single-board computer includes great new headline features such as dual 4K (yes 4K!) displays, super-fast USB 3.0, Gigabit Ethernet and budget-accommodating RAM options. Even More Power! The official Raspberry Pi desktop kit makes it really easy to set up a Pi 4 for Python or Scratch programming, web browsing or school work. It contains a Raspberry Pi 4 clad in a protective case plus matching keyboard and mouse (all in Raspberry Red and White). You also get a high quality USB-C power supply, two display cables for connecting up HDMI monitors or TVs and a micro-SD card pre-installed with the latest version of Raspberry Pi OS. It also comes with an extensive Beginner's Guide to help you get started.As always, the fantastic Raspberry Pi Foundation learning resources, combined with a huge community bursting with enthusiastic Raspberry Pi users, means you’ll never be far from help, support, tutorials and examples projects. Technical Specifications:

To ensure that the Pi 4 does not overheat and has proper cooling, we will first apply the 3 heat sinks on the Pi 4. Follow the video below to see which heat sink goes where. The heat sinks will help to dissipate the heat from the USB Controller chip, the RAM and the main processor.The faster 1.8GHz 64-bit quad-core CPU on the Raspberry Pi 4's Cortex A72 SoC, coupled with the up to 8GB LPDDR4 RAM give performance comparable to entry-level x86 desktop PCs. You'll see significantly faster boot speeds, and much better performance for CPU-heavy tasks like emulation and media centre usage; much snappier all round! Significantly faster IO The Raspberry Pi 4 has two USB 3.0 ports, for up to 10x faster transfer speeds than USB 2.0, perfect for connecting fast peripherals like SSDs and flash drives. There are also two USB 2.0 ports for connecting less speed-dependent peripherals like keyboards and mice. With the cooling and protection of the Pi 4 settled, lets move on to preparing the Pi 4 for its first boot up! Step 4: Insert the Pre-installed microSD card into the Pi 4 🧠 There are dual micro-HDMI ports that support up to 4Kp60, to use your Raspberry Pi 4 with much larger displays with crisp, sharp, high resolution. Use the H.265 4Kp60 hardware decoding to watch 4K movies in your favourite media centre distro.
