The box contains everything you need to get started with a raspberry pi and begin coding for your own projects. This computer system works as an excellent way to prepare the OS for use in other pi projects that may need a keyboard and mouse initially before being set up to work with buttons, or in a headless manner. I also use it as something to type with, blog and also fetch my email.

I bought this kit, together with a Bluetooth mouse, a USB C power switch, and a sleeve. It was easy to set up - and I now have Thunderbird and Firefox set up the way I like them. The computer is connected to a 4K monitor. This setup ensures the Pi 400 is always on - and so I'm more likely to experiment with it. Since purchasing I've used the built in SD card writer to upgrade to a 128GB Micro-SD card and from Buster to Bullseye. (I would recommend doing the latter BEFORE you customise the machine - so a fresh install.) I've given this 5 stars as this is all very nice. However, I would love to see a "Deluxe Bundle" - with the Bluetooth mouse, sleeve, and USB-C power switch in. Such a bundle would include a 32GB Micro SD card with Bullseye preloaded. (I happened to have the spare 128GB Micro-SD card so I'm not recommending 128GB in general.) I wouldn't replace what I've just bought with such a Deluxe Bundle, of course, as I'm very happy with what I have.

The device is a work of loveliness, reminds me of the feeling of sitting at a Spectrum many years ago; the possibilities being limitless and exciting, all contained in this little box connected to a display. I appreciate the time and effort spent on these Raspberry Pi's and the like, it takes computing down an interesting path which is a nice distraction from corporate computing drudgery.

Surprisingly good, the way the pi 4 has been housed in the keyboard is very neat. I bought this for my wife to replace her old MacBook that will not update its browsers. For less than a £100 this has more functionality than the old macbook and together with an old TV with HDMI gives a complete computer. I had to tweek the display offsets in the boot/config.txt but otherwise it required no setup, typing this review on it, very happy with it!

I bought a PI 400 and it was so easy to use I bought another for a friend as a Linux computer to get them off of old Windows machines. They are not sophisticated computer users but they think it is marvellous.

So far, so good although I haven’t tested all the functionality yet. Order and delivery all OK and all parts included as advertised. I look forward to learn some basic programming skills.

Most powerful pi to date built into a keyboard, what's not to like.

Loving my Pi 400, pleasantly surprised by just what it can do. Together with a WD Green SSD, it makes a great little media server and runs Pi Hole too..
