Raspberry Pi computer-in-a-keyboard Technology

 



That Raspberry Pi computer-in-a-keyboard looks great, and more tech news today

 





1. New faster Raspberry Pi, during a keyboard, for $70

Raspberry Pi 400 keyboard


Ok this is often cool. If you’ve ever thought the Raspberry Pi mini-computer looks intriguing but a touch complicated as a raw little bit of silicon, the Raspberry Pi Foundation features a new idea.


Meet the new Raspberry Pi 400, an upgraded Raspberry Pi 4 with 4GB of RAM, and now during a keyboard. Our post here has all tech specs and details but it’s almost like the Pi 4.


What matters is that the new form:


“We’ve never been shy about borrowing an honest idea,” write the Raspberry Pi foundation, noting the throwback to the likes of the Commodore 64-era, which embedded a motherboard within the keyboard.

The keyboard holds all the ports at the rear , including USB-C charging, 2x HDMI mini, three USB-A ports, and it's Bluetooth and WiFi, and more.

Raspberry Pi CEO Eben Upton said that the device attempts to unravel “challenges for less-technical users in configuring a tool with many parts, often without hands-on support because COVID-related restrictions on home visits.” (via Engadget).


Not bad:


The Raspberry Pi 400 keyboard setup will retail for $70 and is out there within the US, UK, and France immediately , with Italian, Spanish, and German versions rolling out next week. Expect other global markets like Australia and India, by late this year, and other global markets in early 2021.

There’s also a “Christmas Morning ready” package for $100: it includes the official USB-C power supply, mouse, cables, official beginner’s guide, and a 16GB SD card preloaded with Raspberry Pi OS. It’s an honest deal.

If you've got a bunch of those things already, you’re good to travel with just the $70 version.

And the older Pi 4 remains being sold as a module for around $56 approximately still, with the small form-factor more appealing for a few .

This is sensible for families under lockdown that want to introduce a touch IT skill, from early programming and projects, or maybe just playing Minecraft.


Or, far more complex stuff — there are some great Raspberry Pi projects to tackle, learn from, and adapt to your own needs.
