Of course. But why? PiHole is a server application running 24/7, normal Pi would be a better choice. Pi 400 comes with different keyboard...

Not a good idea. To use as a router you’ll need two NICs, and the only option for 2nd NIC is USB, which is often flakey in terms of...

Probably because 8GB Pi 4 is EXPENSIVE? I mean you should be able to run thin client with 2GB, right? I would say 4GB is the sweet spot. A...

Since Pi 400 is based on Pi 4, so almost everything running on Pi 4 will run on Pi 400. And Pi 400 is inspired by Commodore 64, so you can...
