I don't run anything other than Raspbian on most of my Pi systems, so I don't use SD cards in NOOBS format any more. It looks around to see what other operating systems are installed, and it delays a bit to give you time to interrupt the boot process so that you can add or remove other operating systems.
The down side of the NOOBS distribution is that it boots much more slowly than a Raspbian-only installation.

The NOOBS card also contains LibreElec, which is a stripped-down version of Linux with the Kodi media center software installed. There is no difference in Raspbian itself between the NOOBS distribution and the Raspbian-only distribution. For those who aren't familiar with loading/installing Raspbian, NOOBS is basically a way of distributing Raspbian on a specially formatted/partitioned SD card so that it is easy to add other operating systems alongside it. The micro-SD card in the kit is preloaded with NOOBS. It all fits together nicely - it seems to me that the Pi 4 board is a bit more snug in the case than the previous generations, so you have to be careful that the mounting holes in the board seat properly on the pegs in the case. Because the two micro-HDMI connectors are relatively close together on the board, it is not possible to use two adapters side by side - there's just not enough room for the HDMI heads of both of them. There is a limitation when using the micro-HDMI adapter, which is perhaps not obvious from just looking at these pictures. There are still no such cables in stock at the Pi-Shop (which probably also explains why there wasn't one included in this starter kit), so I had also ordered an adapter. The glaring omission here is any kind of micro-HDMI cable or adapter.
