Raspberry Pi 5 2GB Model B Starter Kit - Barebones

The Raspberry Pi 5 2GB Barebones Starter Kit has the core parts you need to get a Raspberry Pi 5 running: the board, the official case, the official 27W USB-C power supply and a 32GB microSD card with Raspberry Pi OS already installed. The board, case and power supply are all official Raspberry Pi products, shipped from Australian stock.

What's in the kit

• Raspberry Pi 5 2GB Model B: quad-core 2.4GHz Arm Cortex-A76 with 2GB of RAM, the most affordable way into the Pi 5 for single-purpose projects and learning.
• 32GB microSD card with Raspberry Pi OS preloaded: insert it and power on. No flashing required.
• Official Raspberry Pi 5 case (red/white): includes a built-in fan to keep the Pi 5 cool under load.
• Official Raspberry Pi 27W USB-C power supply (white): supplies the 5V 5A the Pi 5 needs to run USB devices at full power.
