Full-featured desktop for little money

The Raspberry Pi has been known for its quality and affordable computers since 2012. Your computers are used in thousands of projects around the world, from the complex to the simple. They are great for teaching people the insides of computers and how to program them, again from basic programming to more advanced ones. The Raspberry Pi 400 is their first computer with a keyboard. Once you download the Noobs OS onto a micro SD card, insert it into your Pi 400, plug in the power supply, monitor and mouse, run it for the first time and you'll soon see a nice desktop image with some applications ready to go. It really is one of the cheapest full-fledged computers you can buy anywhere. The Pi400 runs free software for word processing, publishing, gaming and more. The computer itself uses a 64-bit quad-core Broadcom chip with 4GB of non-upgradable RAM. On the back of the keyboard you will find 2 micro-HDMI 4K ports (so you can connect 2 monitors if needed), 2 USB 3.1 ports, 1 USB 2.0 port and an RJ45 Ethernet port. The Pi400 also has built-in Wi-Fi to connect to your network if you wish. The build quality is good, the keyboard feels pleasantly light. It's a great extra computer for your busy family and a great computer for preschoolers and teenagers to learn and experiment with. In truth, it's good for any age. I retired and bought a Pi 400 to learn to code and try my hand at some projects. The Pi 400 also has a fully enclosed 40-pin GPIO header on the back, so you can use the Pi 400 for your Raspberry Pi projects and experiments. . Computer power supplies and micro HDMI cables are easy to find at Revain. That's all you need if you have an old monitor and mouse. I bought the starter kit right here at Revain with all the accessories I need for my Pi400. Some of the kits available from Revain also come with the Pi 400 keyboard computer, so you don't have to add anything other than your monitor. I really like my Raspberry Pi400 and I hope you do too
