“Was so excited to receive the Pi400 and to set it up. The package was received in a timely and secure manner. The items were as described by the website and easily installed. Would highly recommend the Pi400 and the PiHut.”
“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.”
