Raspberry Pi 400

by Raspberry Pi

Raspberry Pi 400 is a complete Raspberry Pi 4-based personal computer, fully integrated into a keyboard for ease of setup and use.

Featuring a quad-core 64-bit processor, wireless networking, dual-display output and 4K video playback it is ideal for surfing the web, creating and editing documents, watching videos, and learning to program using the Raspberry Pi OS desktop environment.

Includes Raspberry Pi 400 keyboard unit only. If you'd prefer a complete kit including mouse, pre-loaded microSD card, micro HDMI cable, power supply, and getting started guide, check out the Raspberry Pi 400 Personal Computer Kit! If you're planning on using HATs or mini HATs with your Pi 400 you'll probably want to pick up either a Flat HAT Hacker or a GPIO extension cable, take a look at the extras tab for more options.

Specification

  • Processor: Quad-core 1.8GHz Cortex-A72 (ARM v8) 64-bit (BCM2711)
  • RAM: 4GB (LPDDR4-3200)
  • Dual-band (2.4GHz and 5.0GHz) IEEE 802.11b/g/n/ac wireless LAN, Bluetooth 5.0, BLE
  • Gigabit Ethernet
  • 2 × USB 3.0 and 1 × USB 2.0 ports
  • Horizontal 40-pin GPIO header
  • 2 × micro HDMI ports (supports up to 4Kp60)
  • H.265 (4Kp60 decode) / H.264 (1080p60 decode, 1080p30 encode)
  • OpenGL ES 3.0
  • microSD card slot for operating system and data storage
  • 78- or 79-key compact keyboard (depending on regional variant)
  • USB-C power connector
  • Dimensions: 286mm × 122mm × 23mm

Desktop-level performance

With an even faster 1.8GHz 64-bit quad-core CPU (thanks to the substantial heatsink inside), coupled with the 4GB of RAM give performance comparable to entry-level x86 desktop PCs. You'll see significantly faster boot speeds, and much better performance for CPU-heavy tasks like emulation and media centre usage; much snappier all round!

The Raspberry Pi 400 uses a USB-C power meaning that you'll need a new USB-C power supply that can supply 5V at 3A.

Significantly faster IO

The Raspberry Pi 400 has two USB 3.0 ports, for up to 10x faster transfer speeds than USB 2.0, perfect for connecting fast peripherals like SSDs and flash drives. There is also one USB 2.0 ports ideal for connecting less speed-dependent peripherals like a mouse.

The ethernet jack on the Raspberry Pi 400 is true gigabit speed, for super-speedy wired networking.

4K display support, dual micro-HDMI

There are dual micro-HDMI ports that support up to 4Kp60, to use your Raspberry Pi 400 with much larger displays with crisp, sharp, high resolution. Use the H.265 4Kp60 hardware decoding to watch 4K movies in your favourite media centre distro.

If you need a micro-HDMI adapter to use your existing HDMI cable with the Raspberry Pi 400 then we've got you covered!

Bluetooth 5.0 and wireless LAN

The chipset supports Bluetooth 5.0 and also dual-band 802.11 b/g/n/ac wireless LAN for quick wireless networking with less interference and better reception.

ARRR GEEE BEEEE! I'm driving it with a microcontroller + circuitpython by adapting an Adafruit LCD library for the ST7565 (almost the same as the ST7567 in the GFX hat) and porting the Pimoroni SN3218 library to circuitpython. Works great! I don't need capacitive touch so not bothering with that.

Prompt delivery. Worked out of the box with their examples. Great price at discounted price of £9. Perhaps some more detailed documentation would be useful.

An incredibly priced device, great screen, the buttons work very well and the LEDs for each buttons are very appreciated. The RGB backlight with individually control zones is a great touch. I am currently using it with a pi to received and display SMS messages.

Lovely upgrade to my display-o-tron, and inky phat... and though it’s not as higher resolution as the inky Phat, the ability to refresh the data quicker makes it much more useful

Just bought my second one of these, great for small embedded projects. Pimoroni is becoming a favourite here too, I've bought quite a few things now and the goodies have always arrived quickly.
