“This was like going back to the 1980s (in a good way), except this time I'm the dad and my son is taking a white computer out of the box instead of a black one :-)
It was a breeze to set up, with just a few wires to connect, and the preinstalled software just works. The keyboard is comfortable even for my big hands, and while it isn't the most powerful computer in the house, it's more than powerful enough to run the included office applications, web browsing, stream video and program in Scratch. So, unlike the computer of my childhood, this really is good enough to help with the homework.”
“I'm delighted with my pi400. My boys share it for home-schooling. Can't believe we're giving tablets and laptops to kids for home-schooling the PI400 _just_works_
Slightly peeved that there is no audio jack, but shop carefully for a HDMI to VGA adapter and you can find one that has an integrated Audio Jack - better than wasting cash and losing a valuable USB port on a USB sound dongle.”
“A very nice kit. I have been waiting a long time for something like this, the fact it's all so neat in one unit and all the cables plug in one side, I never liked the way the pi had sockets on all the sides but I understand why it's like that. I like the feel of the mouse and that it all matches sorts out my ocd”
“Bought this for my 10-year-old daughter to use as a computer for her schoolwork as we're in lockdown and kids are home-learning. I could not be more impressed! This is a serious bit of kit. There's nothing she can't do on this. We've got MS Teams running and she can use LibreOffice to do all her tasks. MS Office runs well within the browser also including Outlook. She's learned Scratch 3 (included with the OS). We bought it with a webcam also and that runs well. I've overclocked it to 2Ghz with no issues. It's hooked up with a monitor and bluetooth speaker (or headphones). I am over the moon with this little pocket-rocket!”
