The Raspberry Pi 4 Desktop Kit is ideal for those aiming to create a PC or Media Center using the Raspberry Pi 4.

The upgraded 64GB card offers rapid read and write speeds, reducing update times significantly. This kit offers a user-friendly experience for the Pi, allowing you to install the operating system of your preference.

Please note that the Qwiic Shim is not designed to be used with the Heat sink case as it inhibits the case from establishing a proper connection with the processor. If you wish to use the Shim, the top of the case should be removed or an extension header should be used with a Pi Hat.

The SparkFun Qwiic connect system is an ecosystem that facilitates prototyping by reducing errors. It consists of I²C sensors, actuators, shields, and cables. All Qwiic-enabled boards utilize a common 1mm pitch, 4-pin JST connector, conserving PCB space and ensuring correct connections due to their polarized design.

The kit includes the Raspberry Pi 4 - 8GB Model, Logitech K400 Plus Wireless Keyboard with Touchpad, Kingston Canvas Go! Plus 64GB MicroSD Card with Adapter, USB Type C Wall Adapter, USB Type C to Type C Male Cable (2/3 Meter), Metal Heatsink Case with Thermal Tape - Black, HDMI to Micro HDMI Cable, and SparkFun Qwiic SHIM for Raspberry Pi.
