For starters, that means that all of the ports are lined up at the rear of the computer, rather than being spread around the side. Rather than squeezing that board into a keyboard case, this computer has been built from scratch to be an all-in-one. Internally, the Pi 400 is basically an upgraded Raspberry Pi Model 4 computer. It’s a neat and practical design that harks back to the heyday of the home computer revolution: I like to think of this model as the ZX Spectrum or BBC of Raspberry Pi models. Turn it around and the ports give away that this is a full computer. Look at the computer from the front, and you’d swear this was just the regular Raspberry Pi keyboard (23 x 286 x 122mm). The kit is the better choice for those getting started existing Pi owners may want to save the cash. There are two versions available: the standard Pi 400, which is the computer only (£65) or the kit (£95), which gets you a mouse, power supply, HDMI cable, 16GB microSD card preloaded with Raspbian, and a getting started book.

With the Pi 400, you now get everything you need in an all-in-one computer. Previously, if you wanted to make your Raspberry Pi look neat and make it that bit more robust, you’d need to buy a case for the board, then hook up your own keyboard, mouse and displays. Design and Features – No bigger than a keyboard with (almost) everything you need built in You miss out on a few features that the bare board Pi models have, but it’s a worthy compromise in many situations, and a great way to get started with the mini-computer. It’s a far easier package to get started with, and that bit more robust, too. Enter the Raspberry Pi 400: the complete all-in-one computer built into a keyboard.

If there’s one little thing that can put some people off buying any Raspberry Pi, it’s that you need to add a keyboard, power, mouse and, preferably a case, to get started.
