“This is a great piece of kit. Got This for some basic web browsing. Also do set up as an amiga emulator. Works flawlessly, just insert the mico sd card in. Will have no problem recommending this to anyone.”

“Arrived next day once it was in stock to order. I already got the matching Pi Monitor. Soon had it set up on kitchen table for exploration and once I had worked out that the monior seemed to need two cables I was able to boot up and sign in. It was good to have a beginners handbook but a supplement or even a PDF for the 500 would be helpful for me. Initial impressions are very favourable. There is so much to explore. I'd like to set up a DAC for music streaming and maybe a camera but I'm not sure yet which accessories or how many can be used at once, or whether I can free up a socket with a bluetooth mouse.”

“The Pi 500 gives you the performance of Pi 5 with the convenience of less connections. For my use the performance is good even running off the micro SD card. I would have preferred it to have full size HDMI connectors for the monitor outputs, but to date have not had any problems. I have seen some reports of flex in the keyboard but nothing that bothers me. The lack of an M.2 slot for faster performance may be disappointing for some. I use it with the new Raspberry Pi monitor which makes for a fairly compact desktop setup. Overall very satisfied.”

“Early days, but I'm very happy so far with the quality and content of the kit. Everything I need to get set up and going along with my existing HDMI screen.”

“Great piece of kit. Much easier to use that my Pi 4B with separate keyboard, looking forward to expanding my horizons with Raspberry Pi.”
