Raspberry Pi 400 Kit vs Vilros Raspberry Pi 4 Complete Starter Kit
The Pi 400 Kit is the simpler choice: a full computer built into a keyboard with 4GB RAM, a 1.8GHz CPU and everything needed to boot. The Vilros kit is a bare board in a case, so you assemble it and add a keyboard and mouse, but it gives you a standard Pi 4 layout and a case with room for a fan. Buy the Pi 400 for a tidy first computer or a learning machine. Buy the Vilros kit if you want a conventional Pi 4 board for projects, a NAS or a desk build.
- Choose the Raspberry Pi 400 Kit if you want a one-piece computer that boots out of the box with no assembly and a keyboard already attached.
- Choose the Vilros Raspberry Pi 4 Complete Starter Kit if you want a standard Pi 4 board in a case for projects, a NAS or a build where you pick your own keyboard and screen.
