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.

[@Madagon367]

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.

[@marslif]

Also composite video is gone...

[@ekistic]

Guess the Bluetooth can replace the audio jack?

[@umar167]

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.

[@channelnumber52]

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.

[@fetchstixRHD]

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!)

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!)

[@TheWarrrenator]

The R pi Foundation should design the 400 so that it can take Compute modules so users can swap them out for upgrades.

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.

As a bonus, I have a keyring nerd tool that happens to have storage for two micro sd cards. I can take 3 boot disks with me when I take the Pi 400 somewhere.

Can I use it to watch KZbin videos in HD for 10 hours a day?

[@TheXide]

Well, for KZbin you should buy Android TV box (40$), which will support 4k60fps on KZbin.

[@DJDonkeytron]

MvC2 is probably the best example you could have given. Thanks! 😊

[@michael53667]

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

[@theinceptor3672]

well i mean apart from gaming and video editing,this thing is good to use as a dekstop computer

[@amaljoe367]

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.

[@rustyshackleford1964]

why couldn't they have put regular HDMI on this! Ridiculous! Looks sleek tho lol

[@The_Wandering_Nerd]

They must be on the payroll of Big Dongle

[@luigiprovencher]

I'm sure they could've but they just didn't want to.

[@clangerbasher]

Yes. Or one HDMI fixed to the back and one on a header would have been better.

[@The_Wandering_Nerd]

@@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.

[@The_Wandering_Nerd]

@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.

[@Gravitino900]

I'm buying one of these to use as a work pc. Going to mess around with box86 and wine to see what I can get working.

[@DaHaiZhu]

1:18 It doesn't have a microphone (Correction: Headphone) port as well...

[@dv7533]

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.

[@DaHaiZhu]

@@dv7533 : My Blunder. I meant Headphone port. (corrected)

[@dv7533]

@@DaHaiZhu ah, yeah, that makes sense.

[@solidbear7581]

Nice to see something like this getting made. I might consider getting this for my little brother, now that he has been exposed to emulation and gaming on a PC for sometime.

[@SachinBalan_PB]

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.

[@lesnelson3458]

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

[@magni319]

Extremely professional and to-the-point review.

[@kibbee890]

Looks like its missing the headphone jack.

[@Nietzsche_K_Gote]

Oh Gawd I didn’t even notice.

[@tausiftaha12]

I hope the make a RPi 800 with an audio jack and 8 gigs of ram and mabye even a numpad since this is base around working portably.

[@sarcasticgirl5807]

i was waiting for. a while to watch this thing review in your channel... thanks for making itttt.....✨❤

[@s7121n9s]

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

[@jpsalis]

2:20 it has a kensington lock port too, that's what the port on the far right is for. I guess they figured some schools might end up using this, or some students might want to make this a portable setup. Usually that port is used for laptops.

[@rohitdeb6664]

Wondering how this would do with Windows 10 on ARM with the 2.2 GHz OC. Would appreciate if you could test that too. It would make a perfect light desktop for my folks with very few cables and stuff if it works okay. Cheers.

[@lesnelson3458]

no body has been able to install any windows on the raspberry yet maybe in the future some body will finger it out bot it can not be done at the moment just get it for your parents and install a supported Linux disto on it you can make it look the same as any normal windows and the want know the difference

[@rohitdeb6664]

@@lesnelson3458 It's been done on a Pi 4. I wanted to see the performance on this chip + cooling solution, marginal as the changes may be. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pGKkiX2gpbJjgpo P.S.: My folks are older people who can't tinker with the command line and need apps they are familiar with. Handing them a skinned Linux is not the solution.

[@michelvanbriemen3459]

Kinda glad I waited on my purchase of a Raspberry Pi 4. I would've been happy with it, but this throwback to the Amiga A1200 and the C64 with the decent//good cooling plus the built-in power "button" really adds an extra layer of coolness for me. I think they knocked it out of the park. This is effectively a 1-purchase solution which makes it much more accessible to everyone... not that the RP4 isn't accessible, but this one is more so.

[@EcoSpeeder]

It seems like the HDMI connection would get buggered soon from the keyboard be moved about (?)

[@fetchstixRHD]

That’s the problem with the micro HDMI connection, it’s terrible. Too often I get issues when I move my Pi slightly because it gets disconnected

[@EcoSpeeder]

@@fetchstixRHD I think I found the fix. A right angle micro HDMI cable.

[@EcoSpeeder]

...plus a strip of tape for connector strain relief

[@EcoSpeeder]

@@fetchstixRHD My Pi is still in the box. Thanks for your feedback on what I saw as a potential issue. I am ordering the right angle connector now.

I know that's not you, I know it's not the same for everyone or the same everytime. I don't know Googalies algorithms.

You said that you wished you could give us all something? How about this?

[@brookewestonctc]

Doesn't have a headphone jack. No way to get audio out of it if you're using it with a monitor that doesn't have HDMI audio. Massive omission.

[@fishingangler4315]

You can get USB audio adapters for less then $10.

[@littlejohn2708]

This does not provide the same I/O as a Raspberry Pi 4B with keyboard. The 3.5 mm audio, display, camera, POE connections are missing and if you consider the standard Raspberry Pi keyboard the three additional USB Hub ports are also missing.

[@justjeepin]

I just wish they'd have included a TouchPad on the keyboard, then you wouldn't need a mouse.

[@luigiprovencher]

Exactly. That's what I thought, too. It would free up that USB 2.0 port, too.

[@justjeepin]

@@luigiprovencher If it had the TouchPad, 4 usb ports, and was black I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

[@thewanderingalbatross1061]

Without a trackpad I see little point in it but I can't speak for all. I'd also like a battery.

[@rickyrigatoni]

No touchbad. Built in trackball or nipple mouse.

[@justjeepin]

I think they were thinking of a computer replacement and we wanted a retropie built into a keyboard.
