Why We Love the Raspberry Pi
Anytime someone asks me how to turn their weird tech project into reality, my immediate instinct is to recommend the Raspberry Pi. This $35 computer, the size of a deck of cards, is as capable as it is cheap. With just a bit of know-how and curiosity, you can use it to make a retro-gaming console, a robot brain, a smart-home sensor, or even a fully functional Alexa-compatible speaker.
Raspberry Pi 4 Starter Kit
Everything you need
The CanaKit Raspberry Pi 4 Starter Kit offers almost everything you need to start using the Pi right away, including the Pi, a microSD card, a case, a power supply, and cables. You need only a keyboard, mouse, and screen. Most people will be fine with the cheapest model, which has 2 GB of RAM, but if you plan on using it as a desktop computer consider the 4 GB model.

Just the Pi
The Raspberry Pi 3 B+ is a tiny, cheap Linux computer that you can use for a huge range of fun and useful projects. You’ll need a few other things to get started, though, which is why we recommend a kit for most people.

As a kid, I was always more fascinated with learning how to use computers than I was with doing anything productive with them. I had more fun hacking together a half-working machine with cables stuck awkwardly into a breadboard than I ever did typing up my latest school paper. The Raspberry Pi is a window into that world.
