“As a self proclaimed Raspberry Pi fan boy I’ll just say that the Pi400 is radical. A wonderful hark back to the all in one computers like my ZX Specktrum, Atari 400 etc. Very easy to setup and it’s quick. I’m using mine for both BBC microbitcsnd Arduino development and all the programming tools work out the box. Ok I’ll address the audio issue, I can’t get sound out of the HDMI no matter what I try. However a quick solution for anyone who needs audio it get a cheap Bluetooth speaker, works great. No overheating issues from my testing so built in heat sink is doing a great job. Also runs RetroPi great.”
“perfect all in one solution for people who don't bother with building their own housing and perfect for students learning programming skills as they can take it everywhere
the keyboard is a bit on the cheap side and for a all in one solution at least one other USB port would be a surplus so you won't have to always carry a hub with you
bottom line: not bad for what you pay and reminds me much of the 80s ;-) where my first computer has been a Sinclair ZX81”
“Great kit to give child to start on path to computer programming and maker experiments.
The book included means that recipient can write a program on Christmas day!
Just add a TV for display - or fight over whether you watch the Queen's Christmas message or write program in Scratch.”
“The kit is well thought out with everything you need to have a fully functioning Linux based PC utilising your TV as the monitor. With simply instructions from the internet, I have overclocked to 2GHz without any issues.”
