About this deal

Having to use Fn prohibits, for instance, to select text in pages (shift+pgup/pgdn) or to begin/end of line (shift+home/end).

Sadly, while it’s an ingenious design, the actual keyboard itself is still as underwhelming as the original. Thanks Jeff for the teardown, it showed areas of free space that could be used to add stuff inside Pi400.You are missing the camera connector, the display connector, a USB2 port, LEDs on the Ethernet jack, and any chance you can 'move something' to improve WiFi / BT range. But it's about the same as other Pi 4s I have used, getting around 40-80 Mbps on the same 5 GHz network. Would it be possible to place a nvme ssd in a USB-C enclosure inside the PI, drill a hole in the case and connect it to the external cable?

We don't think there is an out of the box solution that comes close to the functionality and power of the Pi 400. Once you’ve got a microSD card inserted and filled with a compatible OS, and have hooked the Pi 400 up to a monitor, you can plug in the USB-C power cable and you’re ready to go.The small size leaves it feeling a little cramped compared to a full-sized laptop keyboard, and the keys themselves have a rattly, slightly hollow action to them. But I do like it enough to stash it in my 'go' bag for networking tasks, and to have a computer at the ready anywhere I go. The Raspberry Pi has always been more of a fun curiosity than a serious piece of business equipment. However, we’ve since learned that unit was, in fact, a back-door prototype for the Raspberry Pi 400 chassis. There's a way you could make it work by customizing a Pi OS image to use the USB OTG port via USB-C so it would behave as a keyboard when attached to a computer, but it would be a pretty inefficient and expensive way to do that!

It’s ideal for learning to code using the Raspberry Pi OS desktop environment and can also be used for a wide range of other activities such as surfing the web, creating and editing documents, watching videos and more! The Pi 400, meanwhile, scored a rather staggering 27 points – amazingly, that’s actually two points higher than Microsoft’s Surface Go 2. CPU, 4GB of RAM, dual micro HDMI ports, wireless LAN, and connectivity options all combine to deliver the full desktop experience that's comparable to entry-level PCs. The company has now added another spin-off device to its range in the form of the Raspberry Pi 400 - a device which the company hopes will help it break into the business world, as well as serving its core education market.Raspberry Pi 400 featuring a quad-core 64-bit processor, wireless networking, dual-display output and 4K video playback, Raspberry Pi 400 is a complete personal computer, built into a compact keyboard. If you don't like the Pi 400 keyboard, you are free to use your own with the Pi 4, as you were before. The Pi 400’s chassis integrates what’s effectively the same chiclet keyboard that has been shipped in Raspberry Pi desktop kits since 2019.
