Raspberry Pi 500+ Desktop Kit (UK)

by Raspberry Pi

A premium computer built into a high quality mechanical keyboard! This kit includes a mouse, USB-C power supply and HDMI cable, plus the Official Raspberry Pi Beginner’s Guide, to help you get the most out of your new computer.

Powered by the same quad-core 64-bit Arm processor and RP1 I/O controller found in Raspberry Pi 5, the deluxe Raspberry Pi 500+ also integrates a one-piece aluminium heatsink for improved thermal performance. This ensures it will run fast and smoothly even under heavy load, while delivering glorious dual 4K display output. It is ideal for surfing the web, creating and editing documents, watching videos, and learning to program using the Raspberry Pi OS desktop environment.

Raspberry Pi 500+ features 16GB of LPDDR4X-4267 SDRAM to handle the most memory-intensive workloads, and a pre-installed 256GB Raspberry Pi SSD for blazingly fast I/O performance. Clicky Gateron Blue KS-33 mechanical keyboard switches are paired with ergonomic low-profile keycaps and individually addressable RGB LEDs.

Tools are included for opening the case to replace the SSD and for swapping out the default keycaps. Comprehensive instructions are available here.

Kit includes

  • Raspberry Pi 500+ (UK Keyboard layout)
  • Power supply (UK plug)
  • Mouse
  • Official Raspberry Pi Beginner’s Guide (English)
