Raspberry Pi products are worth investing in, and the Raspberry Pi 400 keyboard kit is no exception. A retail store like Wiltronics is your one-stop shop for completing your Raspberry Pi projects!

Every student deserves the best possible curriculum and resources for learning. This is what the Raspberry Pi Foundation is all about.

This UK-based charity makes computing and digital creation accessible to people across the globe. They promote the study of basic computer science in schools, providing low-cost, high-performance single-board computers.

The company has been providing opportunities to study computing and computer science since 2009. And throughout the years, their products keep getting more advanced and convenient.

One of their ‘talk of town’ products is this self-contained computer built into a keyboard—a.k.a. the Raspberry Pi 400 unit.

Personal Computer Built Into a Compact Keyboard

The single-board Raspberry Pi devices have gone a long way to bringing computing to everyone. They started with Pi 1 Model B in 2012, then Pi 2 Model B and Pi Zero in 2015, Pi 3 Model B in 2016, and Pi 1 Model B+ in 2018.

Their current generation, the Pi 4, was introduced in 2019 with Model B. In 2020, the fourth generation has released its new model called the Pi 400.

The model 400 is the beginning of Raspberry Pi’s compact keyboard units. Here, we will introduce to you the keyboard that you can connect to a TV and start coding in an instant.

But before that, let us give you a quick overview of Pi 4 and 400.

The Fourth Generation of Raspberry Pi

Tech enthusiasts use Pi boards in various ways, such as:

• Media centres – there are various options if you want to use the Pi 4 as a media centre. The most popular choices are the Kodi-based OSes OSMC or LibreElec.
• Retro games consoles – Pi 4 can run PS1, N64, SNES, and NES ROMs with the help of RetroPi.
• File servers
• Routers
• Network-level ad-blockers

People have also used the Pi to build gadgets, robots, to take pictures of space and run experiments on the ISS (International Space Station). But Pi’s fourth-generation can do even more than that!

The Pi 4 opens a door to many new uses—all thanks to its advanced features:

• A lot faster
• Able to decode 4K video
• Faster storage via USB 3.0
• Faster network connections via true Gigabit Ethernet

And did you know that the Raspberry Pi 4 is the first Pi to support two screens at once with 4K? It is such as boon for creatives who want more desktop space!

Moreover, with Pi 400’s keyboard computer feature, the Pi 4 model makes it ideal not only for children learning to code but also for anyone who needs a computer. This includes businesses; we would not be surprised if Pi 400 is used as handy desktop machines in the future.

Interestingly, this possibility is one of the reasons why the Raspberry Pi 4 and Pi 400 come with two HDMI outputs. This means business users can use two monitors to perform their tasks.

Can you work on a Pi 400 unit?

Keep in mind that the Raspberry Pi 400 is a Linux PC. You can work on it but it does not run Windows, and it is not going to be the same as a high-end laptop.

But with the addition of 4GB RAM memory, the Pi 4 no longer struggles with heavy web pages and apps. Even better, with a low starting price, the Pi 400 is a lot more affordable than many budget mobile phones.

The keyboard it comes with is big enough to do proper writing on, allowing you to do all kinds of web browsing and email answering—just like what you can do with smartphones.

For students learning to code and in need of a computer, the Raspberry Pi 400 keyboard computer unit is an excellent learning companion. The latest version of Pi’s official OS has the Chromium browser, which is Chrome’s open-source browser.

This makes the Pi 400 ideal for businesses. If you are planning to invest in one soon, Wiltronics can be your one-stop shop!
