In this video, we take a look at the all-new Raspberry Pi 400 AIO personal PC in a keyboard!
We do an unboxing, hardware overview, Gaming test, emulation test, thermal testing, and finally a tear down on the Raspberry pi 400 to see what makes it tick!
Powered by the BCM 2711 Arm CPU clocked at 1.8GHZ of the box “can be overclocked to 2.2Ghz” and backed by 4GB of LPDDR4!
So is the pi 400 worth $70? Should you buy one? Can you game on the pi 400? Let’s find out!

    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.

    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...)

    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!)

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.
