Raspberry Pi 400 is your complete personal computer, built into a compact keyboard. It Features a quad-core 64-bit processor, 4GB of RAM, wireless networking, dual-display output, and 4K video playback, as well as a 40-pin GPIO header, it's the most powerful and easy-to-use Raspberry Pi computer yet.

Pro tip: The Pi 400 is ~20% faster than the latest generation Model B boards (1.8GHz vs 1.5GHz).

Kit Includes:

  • Raspberry Pi 400
  • Raspberry Pi USB-C Power Supply
  • Raspberry Pi Mouse
  • 1M HDMI Cable
  • 16GB micro-SD card
  • Raspberry Pi Beginners Guide

Features:

  • 1.8GHz quad-core ARM Cortex-A72 CPU
  • 4GB LPDDR4-3200 DRAM
  • VideoCore VI graphics (OpenGL ES 3.1, Vulkan)
  • 4kp60 HEVC decode
  • True Gigabit Ethernet
  • 2x USB 3.0 and 1x USB 2.0 ports
  • 2x micro-HDMI ports (1x 4kp60 or 2x 4kp30)
  • USB-C for input power, supporting 5V 3A operation
  • Raspberry Pi-compatible 40-pin horizontal GPIO connector
  • Kensington lock
  • US Keyboard Layout

Being a full computer baked into a keyboard, there are so many practical or just-for-fun applications for this.

We respect that Raspberry Pi has been very hard to get a hold of in recent times. While we don't have a firm lead time for single boards (months?) we hope some people enjoy this great deal that is available, after all, it is the fastest and most unique variant in the RPi line-up.

Happy making!

    Hi,
    What could this be used as? What would run on it? Apologies I’m not up with this tech but curious given the price.

    • xeion on 27/02/2023 - 12:40

      I have one running Pihole, Plex and VPN.

        I've got family and friends streaming Linux distros from my Plex, powered by raspberry pi.

        Awesome little setup.

        • xeion on 27/02/2023 - 17:46

          They are great, I am running a Pi3 and it's been working well. It would be nice to upgrade to the 4 at some point.

      • essjaybeebee on 28/02/2023 - 09:10

      Playing emulated games.

      Cheap low power computer just add screen.

      Great play thing for the not so young kids to get into programming.

      Or Web scripting.

      They are great fun to play around with if you enjoy learning about programming and the rest. I bought a 4B a while ago and whilst I am not the most tech savvy person my application is Pihole(basically an all network advertising blocker, it grabs any blacklisted URLs and drops the requests before it gets to your device, super cool and when used with Ublock origin I don't think I have seen a single advert since setting up).

      I also have it running home bridge so I can run non native smart devices on Apples HomeKit, which means I am not stuck paying $40 a globe just because it has apple certification. I can buy pretty much any smart home device and have it link up to Home.

      • zorodluffy on 27/02/2023 - 16:15

        hey im thinking about setting up a pihole, will it block all the youtube ads on my smart tv?

        or has that been fixed cause youtube serves ads from the same server as videos?

        • thegieche on 27/02/2023 - 16:34
          +3

          Unfortunately a DNS-based blocker like pihole can’t stop ads that are served from the same domain as the content you want.

          I ended up caving and signed up to YouTube premium Turkey for a couple of bucks a month from another deal on this site.

            @thegieche: ah dang it, so youtube effectively bypassed pihole?

          • super8 on 27/02/2023 - 23:10

            @thegieche: https://github.com/Perflyst/PiHoleBlocklist

            Description: This is a blocklist to block smart-TVs sending metadata back home, sometimes with the added benefit of blocking interface ads for apps and movie services.

            • thegieche on 27/02/2023 - 23:47

              @super8: That blocks ads and trackers from a bunch of domains, mostly in the interface of the TV. It’s very useful but it doesn’t block ads on YouTube, because ads there are served from YouTube.com, and blocking that would break the site. Ads like that can be blocked using an app, or with a proxy but neither of these are perfect.

          +4

          If you can install apps (like the Chromecast with Google TV), there's an app called SmartTubeNext that blocks regular ads and sponsored stuff with built in SponsorBlock.

          Has to be side-loaded with the .apk downloaded from their website.

        • bamzero on 28/02/2023 - 12:42

          Smarttubenext is the way to go. If your TV isn't running Android, buying a Fire Stick or Chromecast with Google TV is worth it just for the ad-free viewing though you'll probably find it's a little snappier than the in-built smarts anyway.

          I'm not sure if it works on Chromecast but on Fire Stick there is also a forwarder app so any requests to play Youtube videos load in Smarttubenext rather than prompting you to play with or download the Youtube app.

    • sardines on 27/02/2023 - 20:09

      i use it for emulation. some great Raspberry Pi 400 sets you can download. Most dont need the keyboard but there is an Amiga/C64 packs that uses the keyboard — ie gateway to gateway to apsi you need the keyboard.
      Though i havent tried DOSBOX also works on Raspberry Pi 400 which some games need keyboard

      I suppose you can use an old PC/Laptop for emulation, the preconfigured packs you can download are great

      • 3D print controllers
      • Powering Arcade Machines
      • Enhancing older PCs (My Amiga has two)
      • Controlling electronics and home automation
      • DIY computers with custom screens
      • Used in kits of various electronics to make different projects

      Sorry, we don't have a way to include that without increasing the product price. Worth asking.

      On the upside, we have integrated with several shipping services so that people can choose the most effective option for their location. The kit is around 1.4 kg (it's a big box compared to what usually goes out our door!)

              @Davious: @bemybubble I've been to @CoreElectronics a few times, and they do a substantial amount of Mail order. Unfortunately like a lot of small to medium to large businesses, they don't get the same rates as companies like Amazon, Synnex, Ingram Micro etc or someone in China using AliExpress. It's good that Core run a model that is fair to everyone, especially those that live in Newcastle, and not overcharging on freight for mail order customers.

        Can I just say how much I appreciate that. I order from many places for work (including you) and parcels sent with Aramex almost never arrive so being able to choose shipper is very useful.

        • BewareOfThe Dog on 28/02/2023 - 13:47

          Ah Amiga 500, my first computer, think it cost me around $1.5k at the time with only 1 meg of RAM and no hard drive. Still, a worthwhile investment considering I'm now a full time IT professional making well over $200k/year.

    Interested in buying a Jetson nano dev board v3. However, it's $300 on your site, but $217 at LittleBird. I'd rather buy from you given I had nothing but awesome experience. But this gap is hard to justify. Do you price match?
