If you do pick up the Pi 400 what is are you going to run in it?
ETA Prime I don’t know. What Operating Systems are you planning to run on it?
My question is " is it worth losing the camera & display latches and the audio jack?"
@@PS_7015 I personally don’t think it is.
My RetroComputer machine with Sedai Linux.
@@PS_7015 you don't "lose" anything, it's a trade-off, those ports for a all-in-one computer
The circle is now complete. This is how they used to make computers, in a case, in the way-back-when.
Like my first computer : The Commodore 64 ! Loved that thing , and I still have it in working order ! ;-)
@@gertjanvandermeij4265 I adore my 64!
The before time in the long, long ago
The Sinclair!
TbH tough, this is "just" a Raspberry Pi with it's limited capabilities, not a "full" PC. A commodore or something like that was state of the art hot shit. However the price reflects that differents as well of course. Crazy how far we've come so far with computers, that thing is defenetly well suited for usual Office Bullshit and everything you'd do on the Internet and can handle a lot of Emulation tasks just fine. Including emulating the good old Amiga or Commodore as well.
The Pi 400 reminds me of home computers from the early 80s like the C64 and ZX Spectrum. I'm pretty sure that's what the RPI Foundation were going for.
I would say a ZX81
Considering Ebon Upton credited the BBC Micro A & B for one of the inspirations for the original Raspberry Pi, I would not be surprised.
$100 and it can be any Micro you want it to be. How amazing is that?
Exactly, I was thinking the same thing. It really resembles these older computers
Yeah this whole thing reminds me of my good old MSX. My first computer :) Minus the tape drive for loading/saving data :D
For people from the C64, Amiga etc era, this kind of power for $100 in a standalone unit is astonishing even ignoring inflation.
it essentially is its own little modern C64 if you think about it
It's impressive even for someone born in the 2000's.
@@ChristopherGray00 its basically the same category of product for the modern day ... and guess what ? this thing can emulate C64 & Amiga very well
not to mention that the C64 was many people's first computer that they used to learn peogramming, which is one of the core reasons why the raspberry pi even exists , and the pi 400 is perfect for that job
Imagine people seeing this in the 80s...they would freak out.
It’s funny because it might seem like the logical thing to do with future technology, but they wouldn’t know we went though decades of huge computers with heatsinks and fans in between then and now.
@@kristiansims That is exactly what I thought when I first saw this thing !. We have come full circle. Who is going to be the first to make an aftermarket C64 case/keyboard for this thing ?.
@@lostxj We already got bare metal emulation. Search for BMC64.
for real man
It would have been more powerful than the ALL Commodore 64/128 in existence at the time :)
Friend: So where's your PC that you've been talking about?
Me: Right here, the keyboard.
Friend: Wha-- I don't even..
70-80's kids: First time?
Srill have a couple like my Commadore.
I was born in 72.. my first computer was an Amstrad CPC464 it had 64kb of ram .. I built a game on it and eventually run out of Memory.. I remember young me saying 'I need to get a computer with more memory, then I can finish my game' Well this PI is the closest looking alternative to what I imagined I needed to upgrade to, when I was young me.. I really think I might get this, to complete my game.. Maze Craze..

Haha it’s the circle of life. Soon we will remove the motherboard completely and just have metal rods strike a paper producing letters. 🤔
Do you need a tethered monitor to start the install, or can it "cast" to a tv out of the box?
We have monitors at the university and i would bring my raspberry pi 4, my keyboard and mouse to the library to work. It was really annoying to carry all these around every time. This Pi 400 solves my issue perfectly.
wow - you're right - super easy, compact way to dock!
Same, there was a TV area in the library that was mostly unused (in place to watch DVDs), so I brought in a Pi and keyboard/mouse and turned those TVs into my own computer. That was so -long- much effort (and I ended up losing a keyboard!) and if the 400* was available then, I would have loved it (and probably not have bothered even getting a laptop, as there wouldn’t have been a need for one!)
(* of course taking into account the 4th gen power! I already have a Pi 4 but I’m -tempted to buy- already bought a 400 now, which I'm loving...)
I love your accent/voice, you have a narration voice, easy to listen to, makes whatever you say interesting and makes me listen solidly. I've learnt a lot from you, it's just a shame I have no gadgets unfortunately, homelessness and all that but I still enjoy watching your videos. I have somewhere to live now, it's not great but it's somewhere. I'd love a computer of sorts, I miss everything computing wise.
I hope things keep improving for you and you can get back into computing!
@@ScoutsIX3 Ditto and thank you 😊
I suspect it has to do with getting a decent mic and knowing how to eq it for his voice, but that takes know-how too. Agreed and kudos to Prime.
This is probably the best review of the Raspberry Pi 400 that I've seen on UA-cam. It covered everything without too much fluff. Great video.
this would make a great gift
perhaps a bit expensive, but for the right person, at the right time, it'd be absolutely perfect
You think this is expensive? Lol
No name brand tablets cost more lol
@@switzerland593 not everyone has the same price genius and not everyone has cash for mini computer that they don't need.
U could send it me as gift.Why not?
Worth bearing in mind that the unit by itself is quite a bit cheaper, and the bits that come in the kit may not be needed. The good thing about the 400 is that it's effectively the Pi 4, keyboard, case and cooling all in one, and hopefully the only things to source would be a micro HDMI adapter/cable and a microSD card (and should be easy to get!)
This is a great addition to the pi family. I have a stand-alone pi4 and was thinking about getting another but may get the 400 instead. The kit is the way to go as it’s ready right out of the box. The Raspberry pi4 is a fantastic SBC for the price. I really enjoy this site!. Have learned allot from watching your videos and you do a great job producing them. Keep up the good work.
Now a keyboard has more ram than my computer. Nice
🙃😅
*_When The Keyboard Has More Rams Than Your Pc_*
Lol 😆
What brand, and specs are your computer? :) I am a specification type of guy. My laptop is 8 GB RAM, Nvidia 1050, and 256 GB storage, with an Intel i7-8650U.
@@thatguyalex2835 The comment was satirical. My actually PC has 4x as much RAM as what was featured in the video lol
They are evolving.
Soon they will be with a build in screen and will be foldable.

@@monkeslayer-km5ho whoosh
The only downside for me is that they took away the 3.5mm audio jack which ETA does not mention. It's great for kids just to plug some cheap speakers or headphones in there.
Also composite video is gone...
Guess the Bluetooth can replace the audio jack?
Most monitors that I've used come with a 3.5mm audio jack on the back of them, so I'm assuming they'd want people to directly connect to their monitor instead of the Pi 400. But I do agree that it would be more convenient if it was on the keyboard itself.
You can get a usb sound card that will have a 3.5mm audio jack for like 2 bucks online. It'd be nice if the 400 had the 3.5mm jack, but it's easy enough to use a usb adapter.
well thatd be a deal breaker for me. no excuse for this
This is a super computer. I have it on my desk (w/ it's own monitor), next to my main machine. I'm using Synergy to control both computer with a single mouse and keyboard (the one from the main PC). However -- the Pi 400 is a great ARM development machine.
Thank you for bringing us amazing content during these tough times!
Idk what to say
What's tough? Just a little bump in human history
This Keyboard Computer really takes me back in time, when I owned the Vic-20, C-64, C128, The Amiga 500 and The Amiga 600.... I am working on making this RPI 400 a Emulation Machine for Those Older Computers.... I really like this Computer!
The R pi Foundation should design the 400 so that it can take Compute modules so users can swap them out for upgrades.
They could have done that, and discussed it. Apparently it would make the 400 $5-10 more expensive.
@@JamesDuncan I’d pay that. Thanks for sharing!
@@JamesDuncan: Wait would that include the equivalent CM4, or be more expensive and without the CM? If it’s the former I wouldn’t mind much, of course provided the keyboard lasts long!
I love this form factor, it's only missing midi ports. I would love a modern day Atari ST built like this, honestly all modern desktops should adopt this form factor as industry standard.
I’d love to see one of these with an m.2 slot for an actual SSD instead of just microSD support. USB 3 external drives just wouldn’t be the same. A little 256GB m.2 SSD (even SATA, not NVMe) would be killer. Love seeing the little advances in the Pi’s!
Would also be more expensive than the pi. But I do agree
its just like the 80's again :)
That’s the same thing I thought lol 😂
The C64 is back.
@@mrk131324 yea basically
But speed
I wonder if we can install Double Space on this badboy LOL :) I miss the 80's
I just bought one because it strongly reminds me of the old-days-gone home computers, all in a case, keyboard and storage, ports on the sides, turn on and operate. It is also beautifully styled and it does everything you need withot turning on my 550W PC (which I shall use only for gaming). For everything else, including emulating anything in the home computer history records, this is more than enough. And it's cute.
The Pi 400 was my daily driver for nearly 2 years. Excellent little machine. Handled basic everyday tasks well enough as well as 3D slicing software etc. Now one of two, sits on my desk, setup to run Pimiga, when I want to jump down the Amiga rabbit hole!
Bought it in an instant. Coolest thing since ZX Spectrum Sinclair.
I wrote just the same! My first computer was a ZX!
scam
Not just a heat shield, its a RF shield to meet FCC requirements.
that's not actually a requirement anymore.
But the Pi4 has nearly the same harder without RF shield except maybe the PCB ground plane... RF shields usually completely encapsulate rather than just a sheet connected to ground in few locations. Also, if it was primarily RF shield, they would have probably gone with thin steel rather than medium gauge aluminum.
Love it. It's like computers from the '80s. Absolutely love it!
I am completely impressed with your presentation aspect and how clean and clear your explanations are! subscribed!
I'm interested to see how PSP now performs on the Pi 4, particularly now with Vulkan support. There are limited videos on this subject, but results so far seem promising.
More ports than many laptops 10 times the price. I’m looking at you Apple.
2 thunderbolt 3 is more versatile than what’s on the pi400
never been a fan of them but the m1 series are pretty solid
@@oldskoolkrazy thunderbolt is not proprietary lmao
@@oldskoolkrazy all thunderbolt ports are usb c, any usb c cable can be plugged into it, thunderbolt also means less wires not more
@@oldskoolkrazy LMAO what are you even talking about? are confusing thunderbolt with lightning?
So basically, it's a new microcomputer 30 years after that form factor went out of fashion. Neat!
The Raspberry Pi always did have a feel of a hangover from that 70s/80s era of home computing which was basically all about nerdy kids tinkering with their computers and just trying to make them do cool stuff. Now they've just made that link even more apparent.
Maybe, or view it as a notebook without an attached screen?
I've been thinking of this for days, but been waiting for reviews. Looks cool.
Units like these could really reshape lots of schools in the third world!
even 1st world
This thing runs better than the dells we had at the college I went to…
to be honest it would reshape a lot of schools in arkansas, which is supposedly in a 1st world country but the state's school system is 3rd world quality
yea as what others posted these would be great in any schools not just 3rd world
key word being could. nobody cares enough for the education system in any given country.
3:15 the closest thing we'll get to a face reveal.
I was hoping you had a robot head...
Lmao 😂
I think he's republican.
@@blanchehermine How did you deduce that? Solely from his goatee? lol
@@RamyWarda he's also from Alaska.
@@blanchehermine Why would that matter?
Yo! I use raspberry pi 4 for my online classes and all my tasks! I can do all the multi tasking. My pi 4 is overclocked to 2ghz on processing and 700mhz on graphics
Its such a perfectly little prototyping pi when you want to tinker with things... i love it so much its so cute and perfect.
Wow, it's gone up a lot, the stripped down version in store in 2024 is $180 where I live
I've never owned or used a Raspberry Pi but I ordered one of these kits out of sheer curiosity. Definitely will be poring over that manual that comes with it.
The keyboard is connected to a USB 2 port internally, iirc (via the ribbon cable)
I think there is a chip between the pi and the ribbon cable that has the controller for the keyboard itself, but you’re right that that chip uses one of the USB lines.
I'm just shocked this is the first time I have heard of Pi Apps!!!! This thing is AMAZING!!! Why isn't everyone talking about this?
Be been specifically hanging out waiting on your review 😃
Got one on preorder here in Australia, super excited.
bro is it working fine....whats ur review plz explain me😥
1:18 It doesn't have a microphone (Correction: Headphone) port as well...
Yeah, but so far no Raspberry Pi has had one, a shortcoming for sure, but an expected one, analog audio out not being available is less expected. Nothing that can't be fixed with a USB audio adapter thought, but I would have built one in together with a USB 2.0 hub for more ports. Production cost would have gone up with a few dollars/Euro's/Pounds at most.
@@dv7533 : My Blunder. I meant Headphone port. (corrected)
@@DaHaiZhu ah, yeah, that makes sense.
I recently ordered one of the Standalone units, can't wait for it to come in! Will make a nice travel PC/Emulation machine while traveling.
bro have you got it .....and how its working plz give ur review
We've went full circle. Back to computers IN keyboards. Hello C64, Amiga, Atari ST, etc. it's 2021 and you guys had it right all along.
Hey hud. I want to thank you for making this. Making videos likd this is work. It takes time. I appericate what you do, sharing information and your way of doing it is clear and concise. I only clicked this because I've been thinking of making a raspberry pi or arduino [Not sure then differences between them i assumed it was brand, its been a while since i wanted to get one for not just games but a internal relay system type using these. Having an internet kind of sharing outside the reg. Net, my friend did it before in a study i want to find iirc he showed me his which was a very small version 231 people , the Line we called it because it grew and grew it was a hotbed for info and programs. We crwated a micro internet in the most simple way to put it, wasn't easy one guy did a lot of the coding and algorithmic parts. The part that was a pain was getting thru the red tape of putting fiber optics ANS copper wiring (for important reasons needed both) along roughly 10 by 21 mile [imperial i assume as this is for English users not Private Military Company workers, I speak Italian first, German, second. Japanese and English i grew up learning. And still am bad at English when writing or typing i type a lot im also in hospital for cancer so foggy n waiting surgery. Sorry for lobg comment. Thabks for rhe time in this. And reknewing my interest
Quite a lot of wasted space on the Custom/Revision'ed Board, which could easily fit in full-size HDMI and even PCI-e slot and eMMC slot.
With the amount of space they have on this Board, they could even make a 16GB RAM variant as well without much issue (though i guess it would up the cost and power draw).
Wouldn’t the PCIE slot take the connection that is used by the Ethernet? Not sure about eMMC, that might use the same bus as SD. Full size hdmi would have been glorious, though.
@@kristiansims the raspberry pi 4 compute module has PCI-e capabilities. I don’t know if there’s a trade off or not
And a P2 port hahah
@@johnsherby9130: oops, yeah, you’re right-it’s the USB 3, not gigabit Ethernet, my bad. The CM4 doesn’t have USB 3, and previous hacks to put PCIE on normal Pi 4’s involved replacing the USB 3 ports (and I previously mixed that up with Ethernet which is how I got it confused before).
Absolutely love this thing. Now I know what I'm getting myself for christmas.
How’d it work out?
@@SlugSage they didn't have British keyboard in stock so I didn't get one yet
If Samsung ever released a dex box with all the ports like this, it could have been good for all basic internet browsing tasks for a lot of people while still being cheap.
That 2 key power operation keeps your cat from ordering catnip while you're not looking.
My British gamer friends who owned a Spectrum in the 80s must be at awe
Glad I didn't buy a pi 4 yet. I've been waiting for something like this.
This thing is pretty damned sexy.
With this keyboard I can play RosenkreuzStilette and RosenkreuzStilette FreudenStachel. A perfect gift for Christmas.
Awesome review and teardown! Thanks for your work.
Awesome review, always can rely on you for doing a good job. Thanks for the video.
It would be so cool to make it completely wireless by adding an internal battery to it and by using the HDMI wireless transmitter that you showed off a couple of weeks ago
Kind of makes me nostalgic for my old Apple ][+. Yes, I meant the spelling. That is how it is written on the case. This new product is definitely in line with the Raspberry Pi Foundation's original concept of getting cheap experimental computer to kids so they could learn computer science. If anything, it is its finest form.
My 10 year old son wants a gaming pc to play fortnite on and for some reason he wants dual screens. I just saw this on Click on BBC news and now I'm having a nostalgia moment. I had a Spectrum +2 as a kid. I'm pretty much sold on this. Just hope he's not disappointed after the initial joy at seeing the dual screens 🤔😱😂😭 playing bombjack and manic miner sure will make my Xmas day!!
Is it easy to connect to 2 monitors?
the form factor of the pi 400 board would lend itself really well to a possible laptop config...
In the 80’s I had a Vic 20. I was jealous of some of my friends who had the Commodore 64. 😂😂
Nice video - seems like a nice piece of kit. Could be an ideal replacement for older 32-bit netbooks that are no longer going to be supported by Linux Ubuntu (Canonical) after April 2023. Something to look forward to in the coming months - maybe an 8gb might appear next year.....
i was waiting for. a while to watch this thing review in your channel...
thanks for making itttt.....✨❤
Ty for the vid! Just ordered a Pi4 2gb ram model. Totally new to he Pi platform. Cant wait for it to get here and start tinkering. This 400 is awesome! If all goes well, I'm totally going to have to scoop one of these as well!
I didn't see a headphone/mic jack on the back there. I'd probably throw a usb sound card on that 2.0 port to get audio in/our that way.
Yes, I think that having a "personal computer" proposal should have removed the IO header to free up physical space and put conventional HDMI output + the audio jack for headphone
I just use speakers connected to my monitor as always (better sound than monitor speakers) then plug the HDMI cable into the monitor.
@@stephenelliott7071 I prefer using headphones, which I suppose you could do over Bluetooth, but the option not being there slightly bothers me.
@@DigitalJedi I can plug headphones into the headphone out port on one of the speakers (rather than the pi). Again a widely available feature.
@@stephenelliott7071 true. I forgot about that.
I'm just waiting for something in the price range of a Pi able to run PS2 games at full speed. I imagine it's just a couple of generations of Pi away.
Love your video bro, the way you test the device with emulation system its unique and awesome content that not so many youtuber did
MvC2 is probably the best example you could have given. Thanks! 😊
I'd like to know if it will betaflight configurator, it sounds like I will be needing a new system as of there next update... thanks for everything!
🥃cheers🍻
I’ve been thinking about getting one of these and I was a little cheesed by the placement of the gpio pins, as I like doing robotics and this would mean I can’t attach a gpio leaf to it, but then I realised... why would I use this for a robot? I will probably still get it tho, it would be excellent for controlling my the robot
I love the beginning of the video the intro, showing ETA PRIME sitting down ina futuristic world somewhere in a apartment building playing old school emulated games. Awesome 😊
Excellent video, informative and well produced. Your video helped me to decided to order one and I look forward to experimenting with it. Again great job!
It'd be cool to see a "pro" version with an m.2 PCIe slot, up to 8GB possibly 16GB RAM along with the ability to plug in the Raspberry Pi High Quality camera module, or go with a design that utilizes the CM4 module with the aforementioned ports.
I'm disappointed that there was not a 8 GB version available and that with the available space, why didn't they make it with 2 full size HDMI ports?
chk Nvidia's jetson
@@kipa_chu but I'm not looking for a different brand. I know they're much more powerful better more advanced computers out there. the point of my post is my disappointment with the people that make the raspberry pi
Yeah full sized HDMI ports are much more robust. The mini-HDMI tend to break with regular use.
I think the layout of the board is great for heat distribution. That's why they can overclocked it without an extra fan. I am sure there will be third parties willing to make a cooling fan dock and eventually Pi will introduce versions of other color as well.
This is so cool, reminded me of Commodore 64.
can you test the emulation of PS1 (or even PS2) on this?
Also, would be nice to see how it behaves running different operating systems (like the new Ubuntu).
I want one but I want the 8G version with a touch pad.
@Chris_Gullett Because they're different form factors or shapes.
@Chris_Gullett If you'd do that then you're crazy and obviously don't get the point of the Raspberry Pi or what they're trying to do.
@Chris_Gullett Never said that I'd prefer it. Lol I'd prefer the Raspberry Pi 4 but I don't have it yet so it is what it is. Lol And that's just a matter of opinion. If you don't like it or what they have to offer then don't buy it.
@Chris_Gullett No! I meant that you'd be crazy for wanting to spend $200 on this with the compute module inside of this.
Damn, a whole computer inside a computer keyboard; I've seen this before, this is a classic. And I totally love it!
Very thorough review. They really did a nice job with the heat shield
I am brand new to all of this and am super excited to get this started I know it cant run everything but I would like to know what to steer clear of that way i dont break my Pi
You forgot to mention the missing audio jack
Does it give auto through USB?
Has RPI given you stock options or anything? Cuz they should. In terms of anything Raspberry Pi related, I always go to ETA Prime.
Between 2.5 inch touch screens/to work-arounds for old software on new models, you have saved my butt more times than I can count.
Thank you, ETA Prime. You are doing God's work...
Straight up tear down;) I've got quite a few projects I can use this for! Cheers for another great one bro.
tbf would be interesting to see an office with like 10 of these for basic word processing and browsing then at night they could be turned int oa cluster to run calculations
This thing is good when you don't have a Computer.
So you can watch Videos and search the Web for a New Computer! Haha
well i mean apart from gaming and video editing,this thing is good to use as a dekstop computer
Extremely professional and to-the-point review.
You should pair this with the hyper mirror and a bluetooth/wireless mouse for the ultimate couch surfing experience, maybe even power it from a battery or mod one into it
Kinda gives me apple II vibes since it’s build into the keyboard!
I would run all the emulators that can run well on this thing. This may be what I get for my birthday. I've never had a Raspberry Pi
I remember Alan Sugar bringing out his Amstrad computer, the engineers had designed it with a large heat sink that didn't need a fan, but he made them fit a fan so it sounded like,e a real computer.
Hope they release a variant without the GPIO + full size HDMI + 3.5mm audio jack sure will selling like hot cakes
Will they have a Pi “800” with 8gb of ram? That would be perfect for my use.
Same here
This is what I want too
yup
I don't think it would be called 800. 4 in 400 is most likely a reference on what Pi version it is based - Pi 4.
@@qbus371 400 PLUS it is then.
Could be great if there was room for a M.2 in there
Rock pi 4 has NVMe slot.
I saw many reviews of pi 400, but I didn't watched it, waiting for you to upload one.👍
Looks like a very good Christmas gift for the kid 😜
It is, there is a very good little manual that's focused for kids on how to program graphics and use GPIO.
3:16 ETA has a goatee, confirmed.
I would love to see a video on how to install Android OS, Boot from SSD with shutdown option. Use it as Android TV for my regular TV. Can we use external GPU with Pi 400.
its real hard to get something like android to run on the raspberry pi the only way to sort of android to run is by installing lineage os that is based on android
Great presentation. Thank you so much.
I would seriously consider buying this if it came in a laptop form factor. I'm sure it would have some difficulty playing every game in my Steam library, but it wouldn't need to, I have a gaming PC for that. This would be great to use as a cheap and light little laptop for taking notes in class.
why couldn't they have put regular HDMI on this! Ridiculous! Looks sleek tho lol
They must be on the payroll of Big Dongle
I'm sure they could've but they just didn't want to.
Yes. Or one HDMI fixed to the back and one on a header would have been better.
@@luigiprovencher I'm just sad they removed the composite video/audio out. Using one of these on an old Commodore monitor to emulate a C64 or Amiga would be really cool. But I'm not the target market for this product, so I'll just have to keep using my other Pis for stuff like that.
@Critter Hunter they took the 3.5mm audio/video jack out of the Pi 400. I guess you could always use an HDMI to composite adapter. I didn't even realize those were available. I thought they would be hugely expensive devices like the Framemeister for some reason. Thanks for sharing.
damn, mix this with Amibian, and make yourself a fully contained "Amiga clone"
Microcenter has the Pi 4 4GB desktop kit for essentially the same price ($99.99). With that you get 7 available USB ports (3 on the keyboard and 4 on the Pi) plus an audio jack compared to only 3 available USB ports on the 400 and no audio jack. Plus in the desktop kit you get 2 micro hdmi cables compared to only 1 with the 400. And yes the cpu is a bit faster with the 400. So basically with the 400 you’re paying for the novelty of the form factor.
And better temps.
I like how it's a key borad computer so you could take it with you as long as where you are going with it has a screen that will work with and you could use it for emulation
