AZERTY keyboard
Documentation in French, but unlike the picture which has a QWERTZ keyboard, the keyboard received is an AZERTY.
Nothing in the description gives any indication about the FR keyboard instead of a CHContra

Simply super
Needs only a monitor or TV with HDMI input. Plug together according to instructions - set settings at 1st start - then everything runs.
High picture quality with full HD (1920x1080p) and 4K (3840x2160).
HDMI cable is too short for a reasonable distance to the TV - but with good 4K transmission quality.
Internet via network cable and/or wifi works instantly. Video streaming in good quality with good network connection.
Manual includes programming tutorial - suitable for kids and teens.Pro
- Everything you need to get started
- High performance
Contra
- no connection for camera module
- somewhat short HDMI cable

Pink is not only for girls
It's a pity that to get the French manual you have to support the Azerty keyboard
As I discovered that the Philips Hue hub has a dAPI set and that the Raspberry has a python library to access it, I thought I could have some funContra

Small PC useful for Internet browsing
I'm using it to watch my films in mirror mode on a Chromecast dongle plugged into my video projector, just that the sound is bluetooth, so you need to have an audio system for that.I have been using pc's with windows for years and frankly the raspberry desktop is quite easy to understand even for a beginner.
Pro
- Easy to set up - everything is automatic
- Works equally well on HDMI TVs
- HD picture quality
- Casting via the integrated browser
- HDMI mini cable supplied
- The image is clear for sharp viewing..lix
Contra
- Basic mouse

P400 works but parcels are treated like dirt.sorry nogo
The P400 was for a birthday present for a colleague. Now the box is crushed?
Nah, that's great, so I can't make snow with it.
I have now ordered an extra one from the competitor BRK.
What a pity. You should actually get a credit note for something like that.
What a pity.
At least the P400 runs cleanly. I'll keep it for myself now...Pro
- P400 is fortunately running.
Contra
- Parcel from Galaxus torn open ??? Packed uncleanly.
- P400 Butcher crushed??

Ingenious design of the article and even better customer service
I returned the item used and realised when unpacking that the seller had unfortunately not sent the mini HDMI cable and the microSD. After briefly contacting Digitec support, I received an original Raspberry Pi mini HDMI cable and 3 (three) microSD cards + adapter with pre-installed OS free of charge at lightning speed.
Megalieb, many thanks for the effort!Pro
- I can fully agree with the other positive reviews of the product
- Competent and very fast Digitec support that easily exceeds the usual standard
Contra
- I would like to have more product problems, as Digitec support has been great for years! ;)

Android TV
Perfect starter kit for the little noob wanting to fly not too far from the moon. Even though the article is clearly designer DE, it's a bit disappointing to see that even the manual isn't translated, the basic configuration can be tricky when you master 4 different languages but not the right one :(
Pro
- An excellent starter kit for your projects
- Games console
- Smart TV
- Mini desktop computer
- Almost infinite possibilities at a low price
Contra
- Deutsch keyboard (lame for a French-speaking Swiss)
- 16 gb SD card ...NOOB
- Lack of choice on the article in general
- we want more Raspberry Digitec... in FR

The Raspberry PI works well, except for the WIFI network, which is a little weak.
Contra

Very good kit... (much cheaper than sum of the parts)
Very good kit, with everything you need. - As I had just bought the kit once and the Raspi 400 standalone once (wrong purchase!): - Without the kit you have trouble a) getting the right charger ("normal" USB chargers don't deliver enough power!!) and b) the HDMI to HDMI micro cable ("normal" HDMI plugs don't fit into the Raspi 400). - The starter kit worked great for my little big cousins. - You just have to make sure to plug the Micro-HDMI connector into the socket right next to the SDXC card! (There are two of them). - In principle, you should always use the Raspi 4 with a good heat sink (otherwise it will throttle the performance) - I don't know how good this is with the Raspi 400. On the other hand, this is probably not an issue with the target group. :-)
(Classic use is: For "little ones" with "gcompris" - for "older ones" with "Scratch" to learn programming ... then at some point show the children Python based on Scratch...)Pro
- Suitable charger!
- HDMI - HDMI Micro Cable!
- *Good" instruction book
Contra
- unclear how good the cooling is

Pro
- Awesome, light, pre-set

Overpriced
Unlike bare RPi board this one is safe to "touch". All you need to start is SD card with RPiOS (could have been in a kit, given the price tag), micro-to-normal HDMI cable and some power adaptor with USB-C cord (any mobile charger should fit). Optionally - USB mouse.
I'd recommend RPiOS - it seems to be more responsive compared to Ubuntu. And on it one can install Visual Studio Code!
Browser performance is a pain. 4 cores at 1.5 GHz and such a pain in a result? What a shame (mostly for browser developers).
PS: Given current situation (2022'08), this one seems to be the cheapest available RPi4...Pro
- kit
Contra
- low performance
