Raspberry Pi 400 Desktop Computer Kit (UK layout)

Product Information

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.

It's probably possible, though I'd suggest trying to pull the Pi 400 board out and integrate it into a larger mechanical keyboard case instead of hacking a mechanical keyboard on top of the Pi 400 lower case.As a project board that is ever closer to a full use PC, this makes sense to deliver a simple out of the box experience. In some ways, the Pi is a victim of its own success here; it’s so close to being acceptably powerful for day-to-day use that the few odd stumbles it does run into feel all the more frustrating in contrast. The use case was in MS Excel that I am now obliged to use where this is a way to change the behavior of the arrow keys (scrolling cell by cell instead of moving the cursor).

It seems nice to already have a keyboard so I was thinking this might be better than the standalone Raspberry Pi 4. Raspberry Pi 400 is ideal for surfing the web, creating and editing documents, watching videos, and learning to program using the Raspberry Pi OS desktop environment. I have an 8GB RPi 4B, but rarely even go over 2GB used, even with Firefox and LibreOffice Calc running.Featuring a quad-core 64-bit processor, 4GB of RAM, wireless networking, dual-display output, and 4K video playback, as well as a 40-pin GPIO header, it's the most powerful and easy-to-use Raspberry Pi computer yet.
