Raspberry Pi 400 Desktop Computer Kit (UK layout)

Product Information

One issue that I had with the Pi 4 was that the processor would get quite warm when pushed, throttling itself slightly. Raspberry Pi has clearly worked on heat dissipation for the 400 as I never got the warning thermometer icon telling me that the computer was running too hot. You’ll also notice there’s the 40-pin GPIO port, clearly labelled as to which port is which, letting you build your own electronics projects. I could even fit my sense HAT using the provided riser pins. Once you’ve got a microSD card inserted and filled with a compatible OS, and have hooked the Pi 400 up to a monitor, you can plug in the USB-C power cable and you’re ready to go. Having everything built into the keyboard makes this the easiest Pi to use yet: you can set it on a desk, or even plonk it on your lap and sit in front of a TV.

The Raspberry Pi 400 - unit only is a complete, all-in-one Raspberry Pi 4-based personal computer built into a keyboard. The familiar 40-pin GPIO pins are located at the rear of the keyboard for wiring up electronics projects, alongside two USB 3.0 ports and a USB 2.0 port. There's even an on/off power option via the F10 key (for full power disconnection, grab a USB-C on/off switch cable ). The two micro-HDMI ports have support for up to 4Kp60, allowing you to enjoy a twin monitor, high resolution, setup. No more window dancing as you work! You can also watch your favourite movies in a crisp 4K resolution on a large monitor.As mentioned before, this product comes equipped with a Raspberry Pi development board already integrated within, so you know you’re getting the best. Over 14 million Raspberry Pi computers have been sold worldwide that have transformed the single-board computing world. Helping people of all ages and knowledge levels explore the world of programming and computing. Go Wireless

Finally, one shot with all the components that make up the Pi 400, including the little SanDisk Edge microSD card that's included with the computer: If there’s one little thing that can put some people off buying any Raspberry Pi, it’s that you need to add a keyboard, power, mouse and, preferably a case, to get started. Enter the Raspberry Pi 400: the complete all-in-one computer built into a keyboard. The horizontal 40-pin GPIO header ensures that the Pi 400 can continue to deliver for your projects in the same way as any version of the Pi. The Raspberry Pi 400 has two USB 3.0 ports, perfect for connecting fast peripherals like SSDs and flash drives. There are also USB 2.0 ports ideal for connecting peripherals like a mouse. Wireless Connectivity: For use as a simple desktop replacement and for educational purposes I would give the Pi 400 5 stars.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! Getting Started with your Raspberry Pi 400 The table below shows the keyboard layout and power supply included in each regional variant of the kit: On that subject, the engineers over at Pi HQ may actually have been low-balling it when it comes to the performance gains for the latest model. Even when tested with an external cooling fan and firmware updates to reduce throttling, the Pi 4 only managed an overall score of 13.9 in our benchmark tests. The Pi 400, meanwhile, scored a rather staggering 27 points – amazingly, that’s actually two points higher than Microsoft’s Surface Go 2. 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 Digging into the benchmark results a little further tells us a bit more about this Pi’s capabilities. For the image editing tests, which are designed to measure a device’s ability to handle multiple sequential workloads on a single core, it scored just two points – that’s compared to a score of five for the Pi 4. The video editing test was the most successful, with a score of 42, while a result of 26 for the multitasking test is creditable.

Having the GPIO so accessible means that this computer still fulfils its goal of letting people easily develop their own electronics projects.But the Pi 400 delivers something many have desired: an official Pi 4 board built right into a Pi Keyboard, in a space- and performance-efficient way.

Power Supply – please note the plug will be suitable for the market the language variant is designed forThe Raspberry Pi 400 kit is available in a number of different regional variants (select above). You can also buy the standalone unit on its own without the accessories. It's not a substitute for something like a modern laptop or desktop if you need the horsepower and certain apps, but it offers a ton, and the software for the Pi is getting better every day, as more of the computing world increases Linux and ARM compatibility. While you may find workarounds to get your preferred software or peripherals to function, the annoying fact is that it’s nowhere near the plug-and-play experience offered by Windows or macOS – if you’re planning to use this as an everyday machine, be prepared to get real familiar with the Linux terminal. Of course, this isn’t a problem with the Pi, per se, and it’s unfair to lay blame at its feet, but it’s worth bearing in mind nonetheless. Internally, the Pi 400 is basically an upgraded Raspberry Pi Model 4 computer. Rather than squeezing that board into a keyboard case, this computer has been built from scratch to be an all-in-one. For starters, that means that all of the ports are lined up at the rear of the computer, rather than being spread around the side.
