- Raspberry Pi 5 Essential Kit - 8GB
The Raspberry Pi 5 comes with some layout and power requirement changes. For those upgrading an existing project to the Raspberry Pi 5, this kit includes the parts that you'll need to update. The 5 is a lot more power hungry, so included is the new 27W Type-C PD Wall Adapter (North American Plug). In more than just a new configuration; the new official case also includes a fan, a previously sold-separately component. The new case also features the ability to mount HATs to the Pi 5 while keeping it protected.
These two components are included in this kit with an 8GB model of the new Raspberry Pi 5.

Delivery estimates for those who ordered late October?
I can tell you I ordered 2 on September 28th and still nada.
Have you heard back anything? Some I know already have them but not all suppliers yet apparently.
Is it a genuine Raspbery Pi charger?
Yes it is.
Would you recommend this if this is your first R-Pi?
It depends on the use case. But generally the 5 or the Zero 2 W would be the best options at the time of this comment.
