The new Raspberry pi 500 & Monitor secrets finally revealed

[@lamda9914]

The hope is that full size HDMI on the Raspberry Pi 600

[@kevinmcaleer28]

Yeah that would be good, but based on the past Raspberry Pis it seems unlikely - might have to wait another 4 years for the Pi 600!

[@Waveshare_Ruan]

I always catch your timely updates (You, Leepspvideo, & Jeff) right away! Pretty monitor!

[@CyberDunk2077]

I almost bought a pi 500, then while deciding I watched Jeff G and Leepsp videos and saw that some functionality was stripped out of this version, such as the NVMe. I will hold out for the PI 500 pro for now, although it already looks like a great product for educational purposes, which is where they will probably sell most of them. Such a good product for youngsters and people just getting into computers, I wish i had something this powerful when I started learning because the PI 500 makes a 128k spectrum I had look like something from the Stone Age.

[@stephenvalente3296]

I went through the exact same process this morning. Saw email from Pi Hut, went to their site, no boxed set, so starting adding separate bits together. Stopped. Saw the Jeff Geering video and thought, what the hell was the point of putting the traces and pads on the board to not populate them? If they're for an upcoming version, announce it for a later release date - be transparent. Mind you, a lot of people will just buy the Pi 500 and never know the unpopulated NVMe bits are on the board, so it's aimed at the more base level buyer, or those who don't care about having NVMe onboard. Bit of backward step from the Pi 5 though.

THE MUSIC IS A BIT LOUD!!!

[@kevinmcaleer28]

turn it down a bit!

[@luisbperez368]

I use my Pi 400 extensively, always cursing the speed and memory. Still, I love it. I learned to manage the memory, and I use friendly and "fast" Operating Systems. I would buy the Pi500 Kit and two monitors once they become available. Thanks for the video.

[@carlcodes8422]

Ooh - I want one of those Pi Monitors! I can see a christmas present trip to one of the pi webstores in my near future

@Kevin McAleer Can you please make a tutorial showing us how to make a raspberry pi security camera setup via docker like your recent blog post?

[@kevinmcaleer28]

Will do! Its on the list I promise

[@KeyserTheRedBeard]

Impressive video, Kevin McAleer. Eager to see your next upload from you. I smashed that thumbs up button on your content. Keep up the fantastic work! The integration of the new Raspberry Pi 500 with the monitor looks seamless, but have you considered how the lack of PCIe connectors might limit future expansion for AI applications?

[@kevinmcaleer28]

Yes - I'd say the absence of PCI is a real miss for this release, its clearly designed to be an all in one, so they must have taken the decision to leave this out. A little hatch underneath for an NVMe drive would have been nice though.

[@KarstenJohansson]

I've been waiting for this! w00t!

[@kevinmcaleer28]

Its sooo nice to use!

[@WattTheTech]

I just pre ordered the Pi500 kit and the monitor. Love the new all full white colour and I like the full white mouse. The Pi500 is cool and been waiting for it but the star for me is the monitor. Thats going to be so useful for other things and the fact I can run this all on my kitchen table with a battery power bank is going to be epic for me.

[@amineawadabed]

Do you know if there is a Spanish keyboard layout? Thanks

[@DavidJones-hd1jj]

I have ordered a display as it has an IPS panel and decent resolution for the size. It will not suit all use cases but the kick-stand format is perfect for what I need. As for the Pi 500, no NVMe is a disappointment as you imply. As I already have a Pi 5 with a Pi SSD I do not think I would want to go back. One correction - according to the R Pi documentation the Pi 500 does come with an SD card. Can anyone confirm this?

[@kevinmcaleer28]

You are correct - it does come with a 32gb preloaded SD card

[@clasqm]

I am enjoying my RPi 400, but the lack of PgUp,PgDn, Home and End keys means that my next RPi won't be an all-in-one model. Also interesting to note that "Raspberry keyboard" is not an option on any of the Linux variants that run on the RPi. I mean, how hard can it be to add it to the list?

[@gabor222]

What if I want to use the monitor for retro computers or emulators on the Pi that use the 4:3 aspect ratio? Will it stretch it to 16:9 or will it display it in 4:3 ratio with black bars on the sides? My LG monitor lets me choose but if I'm not mistaken the Raspberry monitor has no menu system that lets to switch between different modes so I wonder how does it work when we are not in 16:9.

[@gerold55]

It would've been nicer for those speaker cutouts to be shaped like a raspberry

[@frombrum]

is there an organisation like raspberry pi anonymous? because I want one to complete my set. i may need help

[@agoforcella758]

Sold… order placed!

[@alexandrosroussos]

Still no built-in trackpad or whatever pointing device. Will wait the 600 🙃

[@JeffGeerling]

Would enjoy a Pi Laptop!

[@kevinmcaleer28]

that would be so cool, right?

[@alexandrosroussos]

@@JeffGeerling just a trackpad would be fine for me, then I’d connect to my iPad through an HDMI to USB-C acquisition adapter (supported since iOS 17).

[@stephenjames2951]

No power supply 😢

[@andre0000000007]

why not a black keyboard? and what's with the power button where the backspace used to be. errr

[@PencilParasite]

No AI ? 😢

[@vietho_es]

It's great but better if having M.2 slot :(

[@kevinmcaleer28]

totally agree

Back light on keyboard? : \ )

Volume needed to be lower in music

I'm so excited about this new product! Cost is affordable also! 😎🤖

[@OriNachum]

Actually, for programmers, delete is super important. Odd decision in my opinion

[@kevinmcaleer28]

@@OriNachum the delete key is still there it’s the numlock that’s removed

@ oooh, that makes so much more sense! Thank you for the clarification! And thank you for the video!

Music is a bit in the LOUD side. Couldn't watch.

[@amnesie6615]

No M.2 :( No good.

[@SmarterHomesAndGardens]

2:30 Sure, but then I spend an extra 25 bucks on a HAT with m.2 slot and 2.5Gbit ethernet. The biggest joke about this "pi 400 se" (as it really should be called) is that you can open it up and see where they had the m.2 nvme slot planned. If you don't get the PCIe capabilities, then what's the point? Who is this thing for? And if it's meant for kids to learn programming, then go with 4GB instead of 8GB like on the 400 and make it 20 bucks cheaper.

[@ShuddhDesiGirl]

Just make a laptop at this point
