The Raspberry Pi Foundation has recently announced the launch of official starter kit for its Raspberry Pi low-cost mini-computer. The launch of the Raspberry Pi starter kit coincides with an announcement by the organization that the sales of the mini-computer have surpassed 10 million units.

In announcing the new official kit for the Raspberry Pi mini-computer, the Raspberry Pi Foundation said that the kit was launched in the UK on September 8; and will be available in the other parts of the world “over the next few weeks.” The kit costs £120.

The components of the official Raspberry Pi starter kit include a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B; an 8GB NOOBS SD card; an official 2.5A multi-region power supply; an official 1m HDMI cable; and an official case.

In addition, the kit also includes an optical mouse; a keyboard with high-quality scissor-switch action; and a copy of programming guide book, Adventures in Raspberry Pi Foundation Edition.

Meanwhile, with the launch of the official Raspberry Pi starter kit coinciding with the announcement of the ‘10 million units sold’ milestone for Raspberry Pi, Eben Upton – the co-founder of raspberry Pi – said in a blog post: "We thought our lifetime volumes might amount to ten thousand units—if we were lucky… Thanks to you, we've beaten our wildest dreams by three orders of magnitude, and we're only just getting started."
