Raspberry Pi 400 All-in-One Quad-Core 64 Bit 4GB Ram Dual Band WiFi Bluetooth 5.0 BLE Dual 4K Output Complete Personal Computer Kit Built Into A Compact Keyboard – You just Need to add a Monitor!

This kit is great, you get all you need to start. just hook it up to an HDMI tv or monitor and off you go. Just know there is no onboard sound jack, sound is done through HDMI and Bluetooth. The NOOB image it comes with, seems to have an issue with sound for anything not HDMI. I had to download install the regular Raspberry PI image to get the blue tooth audio to work properly. but if you have sound on your monitor you might not have a issue with that.

I've been a Raspberry Pi (RPi) user for several years. I work at a public library in the IT department. Several years ago I was asked to use some RPi 3 units to create digital signage for advertising upcoming programs. I quickly came to like the RPi a lot for many things. I pre-ordered a 4B back when they were first announced, and I fell in love with it instantly when it arrived. What wasn't to love? It was considerably faster. It had more memory, true USB 3.0 and gigabit ethernet and dual full 30fps 4k video. I was asked at work if it was possible to have the digital signs play video, and I told them that if they'd let me replace the existing RPi 3s with RPi 4s, sure. They've been working great. Last year I was tasked with finding a suitable replacement for our catalog kiosk terminals. The old ones were about 8 years old and in need of replacing. My mind instantly went to the Raspberry Pi 4. I used the spare one I had on hand to start setting up a prototype to see how difficult it would be to do what it needed to. I got it set up within a couple of days, then refining the security on it over the course of a couple weeks. Once I had it working as I wanted, I took it to the boss to get approval to get enough to replace the old computers. I was told to send the link here on Amazon to the purchaser. As I was looking for the best price, I found this, the RPi 400. I was over the moon. Here was a kit, ready made, with not only everything I needed except the monitor, but the RPi was built into the keyboard! This makes the desk of each kiosk even cleaner. The performance is fantastic. The CPU runs even faster than in the 4 because the thermal management of the 400 is integrated and there is so much more room for it. This makes the RPi 400 run far cooler, and therefore faster than the RPi 4 with heat sinks and a fan. It has almost all the same ports of the 4, with the exclusions of one USB 2.0 port (taken internally by the keyboard), the special small screen connector, and the camera connector. It has 1 USB 2.0 port, which I use for the mouse. It has 2 USB 3.0 ports, the same 40-pin GPIO port, the USB-C power connector and twin micro-HDMI ports, just like the RPi 4B. This kit comes with everything you need to get up and running except a monitor (a TV works for this if you need), even the OS comes preinstalled on a micro-SD card. For the price, you can't find a better system. My only complaint is that the keyboard is like that of a laptop. This isn't a problem on my own unit at home (I have one RPi 400 that I use for experimenting with), but at the library this has proven to be less than ideal in the children's department. I've had one get a couple of keys ripped by over-exuberant little kids. Bottom line: The Raspberry Pi 400 is a great little computer. If you have multiple kids in school that need a computer to write papers and do research on the internet with, this is a great option to give each one.

It's a fully functional computer with Raspberry pi OS! Just get it! There is so much you can do with it and if you're scared google pi-apps there are lot of apps there that can help fill out the computer for you to use fully.

Great kit to start with raspberry pi. Everything you need including Raspbian image pre-installed on included microSD card. Only downside: no access to RaspPi camera slot, and need an adapter to easily use the multi-pin adapter. But for getting up and running quickly, just great.

(NB: for some reason as I write this, the product photo is of a generic Apple Lightning cable. This review is for the Raspberry Pi 400 all-in-one computer. I don't know if it's a glitch in Amazon's system or something more nefarious...) I bought this to play around on and experiment with. I've successfully installed all kinds of OSes on it; it's currently running an Amiberry (UAE Amiga emulator) stack. Because the storage is a microSD card, it's super easy to switch to a different OS - just pop the SD card out from its socket on the back face of the computer, pop a new one in, and off you go. The build quality is great, especially for the price. It connects to my home network via wifi or ethernet without issue. For the price I'd highly recommend this as a second computer for experimenting (with OSes or hardware) or for the children.
