Raspberry Pi 400 Desktop Computer Kit (UK layout)

Product Information

Raspberry Pi 400 has a whole host of various connectors and interfacing options giving your more control and options for your projects including two USB 3.0 ports, a single USB 2.0 port, two micro-HDMI ports (supporting up to 4k resolution), Gigabit Ethernet, 802.11ac wireless networking and Bluetooth 5; and access to a standard 40-pin GPIO port to connect and support your favourite Raspberry Pi HAT expansion boards. I love this! Shame I still use Spotify and Discord, if not I would totally switch to the pi. I got zoom running on my pi and I have it set up on a standing desk for school meetings and its pretty neat.

To get it open, I used a plexiglass cutter, which is the only tool I have that's thin enough to get into the side clips that hold the white keyboard top to the red plastic shell underneath, but also rigid enough to un-pop the snaps. After working my way around the board, I could separate the keyboard top from the bottom half: The 400, as the Pi 4 before it, is a proper computer. If you want to browse the web, write documents or stream some video, this computer can handle it all. Really, this computer is fast enough for most jobs. To an extent, it makes it easier to develop on this device, too, as it’s fast enough to keep up with what you want to do, with no annoying lag. Should I buy the Raspberry Pi 400? I'm still compiling some other thoughts about the Pi 400, as I have only just gotten it a week or so ago. I'll update this post over time with any new information. If you’re looking to get started with a Pi (or you have kids that want to get started with coding), then the 400 makes it that much easier: just plug it in and go. Sure, you lose out on the camera and display connectors, but with the GPIO port available at the rear, you can still develop a lot of electronics projects.Great news. After seeing it, I was surprized nobody tried to come up with such a design earlier, and it didn't occur to me either. Don’t be deceived by the size of Raspberry Pi 400, this computer delivers outstanding development tools and performance, the world of programming has never been so easy-to-use! With only one key component in the board itself, all you have to do is plug and play any peripherals you desire. I would love someone to make a tiny microSD distribution that turn this into a keyboard over the USB-C that can do Gadget mode, you just need a splitter to separate power from data.

Adam is an avid follower of the latest hardware innovations, and he is never happier than when tinkering with complex network configurations, or exploring a new Linux distro. He was also previously a co-host on the ITPro Podcast, where he was often found ranting about his love of strange gadgets, his disdain for Windows Mobile, and everything in between. The Raspberry Pi 400 offers a range of different ports that will cater to your needs. From LAN to USB 3.0, 40 pin GPIO to MicroHDMI, whatever you need to plug in, the Pi 400 has it! Technical Specifications Looks like there may be some room if you trim away the heatsink in the quarter where the keyboard ribbon plugs in, but perhaps the better bet is on the outside of the case under the flat keyboard area (where it rises above the desk).It would really have made more sense to use SysRq since I think only some particular versions of OS/2 ever used it instead of CTRL-ALT-DEL. The Raspberry Pi 400 is powered by a USB-C connector and comes with various inputs and outputs such as Gigabit Ethernet, USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 as well as 2 x micro HDMI ports for use with any display. It is also equipped with 2.4GHz and 5.0 GHz wireless LAN for those on the move. There are endless possibilities with this amazing computer that you can take anywhere.
