- Raspberry Pi 400 -- specifications and demo of the new, faster, keyboard-encased Raspberry Pi 4.
The Raspberry Pi 400 featured in this video was supplied before launch by the Raspberry Pi Foundation. The video has therefore been flagged as a "paid promotion", as I received something "of value from a third party" that allowed me to make the video ahead of the product launch.
You can learn more about the Pi 400 on their website at www.raspberrypi.org/blog/rasp...

Epic quote of all time = "if your like me, don't worry there are medications available..." -Christopher Barnatt 2020
this cracked me up 😂
you're*
"Is it safe ....??" /joke
I just burst out laughing. British humor at its finest 😂.
You just made my day!
And also great presentation of this new "toy" 👍
Truly epic! BTW, any specific medication? searching didnt help :)
RPi Foundation just lit up the Pi world with this.. Perfect timing for Christmas.
Yes, a Pi to sit under many trees.
Christmas may well be cancelled...
Unfortunately it's just in time with no nut November
@@ExplainingComputers I can see alredy mod-ders buying this then making a case with better keys.. mechanical..
@@inspiredtiny If you're just going to add a custom keyboard, why not just buy a normal Raspberry pi 4.
"Don't worry if you are like me. There are medications available" - 😂😂😂 Nice one Cristopher.
I may have to "borrow" this joke.
I missed this joke, gotta rewatch xD
9:25 found it
Can I try some before take the deep dive?
MOOD
Thanks for providing the temperature results! I love that it's a passive solution that makes no noise
You nailed it...this is the classic all-in-1 Sinclair, C64, Trs-80, Atari, TI99 etc form factor in a modern package...take it out the box, plug it in to your tv and you got a complete computer...and cheap as chips :0)
The inclusion of a manual more than anything tells me they were _actually_ inspired by the BBC Micro. I do remember the manual of my C64 and how it got me into programming.
...including most of the mentioned computers inside, RetroPi! 😉
That was my first PC, a Ti-99! Plugged into a TV, and BASIC loaded from a cassette tape.
@Critter Hunter Yes, the renders from his video are here: photos.google.com/share/AF1QipOtCkeqDL_60xCM9uXpYAwi76ohjntTnO5jydzxb_izkAiLBDvERQs_Q1lypZNtMQ?key=MVd4bUJzSkJqam9aWmJYR3BWY3o3LWV1ZnR2OEdR
I thought of the Sinclair spectrum when I saw this, happy days.
Makes we want to tear my hair out when I think of schools in my country ordering tens of thousands of iPads for the pupils while they should buy THIS!!!
I can only agree.
This is not out yet
If only school would be about actual study ...
What country are you in and how do I get a citizenship
@@cessposter Germany and:

Your summary at the end is spot on. Love this new hardware. I backed the kickstarter Spectrum Next so I'm looking forward to getting that! I'll also be getting this 400. Really enjoyed this video and your explanation. Thank you. :)
Your enthusiasm really comes through in the last portion of this video. :) What an excellent product this is.
Ah my favourite line. "Lets go take a closer look!" 🙂
;)
The Gentleman Pc Geek strikes again! 😉
Actually, it's "Let's go and take ...... a closer look". But as Chris didn't object, neither can I of course.
You know things are going to get serious after that line 😁
Someone please explain to me why technical channels, such as this one, consistently get downvotes on their videos? The content is accurate, well-made, and interesting (to those of us that find the subject matter interesting), yet there's always downvotes. What are they finding exception to?
Every video here gets a very early batch of downvotes. Some people's hobby I guess.
Uh...maybe Windows users? But I am a windows user, and i loved the video! I must admit that i do have many raspberry pi's around the house. At least 4 of them have cameras connected thanks to Christopher's Rpi zero W plus Motion Eye video from several months ago, and a few more for other assorted tasks.
There are bots that do downvotes automatically. Besides, even Jesus got downvotes. Sad, but true.
@@jakeryan3340xD If only you could swat those bots like flies.
@@jakeryan3340 maybe so, but it doesn't answer the question as to why.
Beautiful! This is pretty cool and right to the point. Even comes with a manual as every proper home computer should do!
I loved my “rubber keyed spekky” 😉 thanks for your great reviews over the years! Happy 2021 👍
How very 80s Retro 💯💯❤️
just what I was thinking, it gave me that 80s home pc vibe like my trs-80 or a commedore 64.
Yeah same, immediately thought of the Sinclair ZX Spectrum.
You are every where with the same comment
"gee paio connector". I have no idea what that is but looks like an 80's parallel port to me.
@@codediporpal Maybe more like an IDE port?
"If you're like me, don't worry they have medicine for it" that made it worth the watch alone lol
:)
Hahha touché
2:30 AM here, and I threw a laugh so hard, I was able to hear someone shuffling in another room.
I actually laughed out loud at that.
Ahahahahahahahah i died!!! I didn't expect it 😂😂😂
7:40 "let's see that wifi is working and... yes we can see that we get to the world's favorite website".
Very smooth 👌 😎
This is definitely going on my wish list for the year. I'm old school also. First computer in our family was a VIC-20 then the C-128 (with built in C-64 emulator), and we had a ZX in our classroom plugged in to a small black and white television. So, this PC will take me back in time when you just turned the power on, and there it is!
Here's me thinking all the way through the video that this is just like the micros I grew up with. I was glad to see Christopher in agreement and just as excited. This is an excellent formfactor for any SBC to be launched in and I'm glad it's the Rasberry Pi Foundation with their keen eye for price and quality.
Thank you Christopher and thank you Rasberry Pi Foundation!
For anyone wanting to know the cooling solution is that the chip is thermally connected to the Metal Shield via a Thermal pad. This shield spans the length of the cases and should provide a decent amount of cooling.
It’s a slightly revised processor, too... which may help it tolerate the speed bump despite passive cooling.
@@gdutfulkbhh7537 Yeah that's true the revisions might have helped too. I can see this RPi being turned into some interesting projects with than board. I'm thinking of grabbing one just because of how portable it is and has keyboard etc connected.
I was wondering how they managed to increase the max clock with so little ventilation.
Most have been able to run it at 2.2ghz
the pad just looks like something they stuck in in there to cut down the rattling of the metal against the plastic back.
Mr. Barnatt, there's another impressive thing about this home computer, it's made in the UK.
I wish here in the US we had a company manufacturing home computers again.
Such a pity Commodore didn't survive it's crummy management team, they were literally just up the road from where I live (about an hour and half away).
Sure, we have Apple, but they think their poop doesn't stink and charge ten times the price for it...UGH.
--- and all their stuff is made in China.
It is indeed a great shame about Commodore, I was a big fan/user of their Amiga systems.
Im english and must have talked about 20 friends and family in to getting an Amiga 500 500+ and 1200
Good days i had the bike and computer everyone wanted, amiga and Yamaha YPVS 350
I am using a Falcon NW here in the UK. They are designed and made in the USA. They are high end workstations. Very expensive though! www.falcon-nw.com/
You are like ones personal IT father. Thank you, for your amazing contributions to the magic world of electronics! 👨💻
9:27- Ah, Christopher, you wonderful fiend, there might be medications for what you got, but there ain’t no cure, and I’m willing to bet that _a lot_ of us wouldn’t have it any other way!
I’m typing this in the US Midwest at about 3:30 in the A. M., at the beginning of what is looking to be the most eventful week of a lousy year-and this video has greatly improved the mood of at least this one household! Some wise guy may have proclaimed that it’s the tale and not he who tells it, but I say the messenger matters!
Oh, and the Raspberry Pi 400! A computer integrated into the keyboard, and I don’t have to worry about finding the case? Looks like a no-brainer to me! My only quibble is that it’s the 4 gig version, and not the 8 gig, but I imagine that’ll come later....
Angus, I am typing this at 3:30 am on the US west coast, probably 2 hours after your comment. Couldn't sleep because of the weeks events, but this video has provided some soothing relief.
I was just about to order a pi4 4gig, but I will now rethink that. I love what I have seen here. Was really happy Christopher put up the cooling numbers. For me, that made it a no brainer!
@@rv6amark I'm buing the Pi 400 as well. It's just too cool and handy not to have it. Good luck these coming days. Greetings from T. in Norway.
This will be my first ever Raspberry Pi and my dad - a serial Raspberry Pi fanatic - recommended your video so I could get some familiarity with it before it arrives. Thank you for doing it, I feel a wee bit more confident now :)
Enjoy your new Pi. :)
Look up ETA prime for retropie tutorials for early video games
@@wesss9353 And the videos on this channel for Python coding, GPIO control and cool stuff like that! :)
@@ExplainingComputers of course your channel is for coding, and programming.
(ETA has great tutorial videos for retro video games)
The cooling concerns was actually the first thing that came to mind, but it doesn't seem to be a problem. Thank you for making this clear!
Really enjoyed this video! I’ve already made a bunch of stuff using a bunch of raspberry pis - thank you for your clips! Your videos got me into these stuff a few years ago! 👍
1982: I can't wait for Christmas to get a ZX Spectrum!
2020: I can't wait for Christmas to get a Raspberry Pi 400!
Aren't you old enough to buy one yourself?
The advantage of a PI over the ZX is, that now we are getting older it's hard to do the finger-gymnastics to push 4 keys simultaneously to get GOSUB on the screen.
Father Christmas might get you a new Speccy from kickstarter if your good.
What's the significance of waiting until Christmas? Get one now.
I bought my ZX81 with the tips I got for Christmas on my paper route. Last year I could have bought a high-end gaming PC with my Christmas bonus but in 2020 I'll be lucky if I can get one of these.
Nothing makes a Monday morning better than a bonus EC video. Thanks Chris!
My pleasure!
Getting close to your first million subscribers celebration, an extremely highly deserved moment it will be. Your reviews, tips and more are worldwide references, leading examples of what the highest quality sources of knowledge, inspiration and motivation for the whole world can be.
Many thanks for this kind feedback, appreciated. :)
Very excited for the P400 - so will be on my wishlist for next year! Thanx for the informative content!
11:51 Brilliantly summed up, Christopher. I'm an 'oldie' too and started off with a Sinclair Spectrum in 1983. At school we had a Research Machines 380Z, at college Commodore PET and RM Nimbus computers. The first computer I had a proper tutorial with in a classroom was a Tandy TRS80 at an event put on by Tandy in Birmingham city centre in about 1982/3. It's amazing how we've gone from little boxes (micro computers) to big boxes (PCs) back to little boxes (mobile computing and System On a Chip).
This Raspberry Pi 400 is an excellent present and is perfect for the lockdown!
My first exposure was also TRS-80 Model 2. There were 16 of them going from school to school for 8 weeks at a time, just for Grade 8 students, which I was, so that was around 81/82. By the time I got to high school (grade 10) they had Apple II's.
Lol we had the RML 380Z too - did my first library book database project on that. Never got to tinker with expansion cards though.
My BBC "B" cost £400 in 1982. That's about £1,200 at today's prices. Unbelievable.
@@stuartofblyth If you use the Bank of England Inflation Calculator you'll find that it's even higher than that by over +£100!!
@@El_Croc we programmed space invaders on the school computer club - once the teacher found it it was wiped because they had to show something educational ... input two numbers ... the sum is. No appreciation of the difference in complexity between a game v arithmetic.
This is exactly what I've been looking for. Thanks so much!
I think it will be a very popular new computer.
The flavour of 80's home computers! I will buy a kit as it will be available again!! Thank you for review!
Such a lovely man and great educator- if only I’d had Chris at school!!
I heard about the Pi 400 in my email inbox this morning. Checked youtube for a video and lo and behold you had already made one. Thankyou Chris! The raspberry pi foundation have timed this release very well. Great price for both the single version and the kit too. I myself was a commodore 64 user and my friends had a zx81 and a zx spectrum 😁 this brings back pleasant memories.
*Thank you, Chris!
Two words, not one, and you also forgot the comma.
I love the comparison to the ZX81. This is what started my interest in computing and I am still having fun using a Rasperry Pi 4 today.
Wow, excellent machine. It also feels a bit like we're back at the starting point; it's got this C64-ish all-in-one stand alone feel to it. Full cycle here, folks! Well done!
This channel is a gem. Thank you for sharing your experience with all these marvellous computers!
Thanks for watching! :)
What a great video - well done Chris. Yes I remember the heady days of the 80's doing exactly what you inferred - my system of choice was a TI99/4A and coding was the norm. Love this 'new' concept - still in the game as a road warrior, grey geek and this mobility is awesome!
Just started searching for a gift for my 16 yr old cousin. And 5 minutes later.. This video! Super cool idea by Raspberry Pi Foundation and great video as always :) Thanks for this!
You should wait to see if they bring out a 16K RAM pack.
What a cool gift idea. This thing seems destined to be a classic
I love your videos and sense of humour ,you can't find many people today with a nice sense of humour like yours, match it with a tech background and you get my favourite you tube videos .Thanks .
Thanks 👍
@@ExplainingComputers Thank you for all your efforts .You do a great job .
Bought my first RasberryPi today- or SBC of any kind! Thanks for all the direction & info...
FINALLY! Ever since the pi launched i've been hoping they would ship a version of the pi inside a keyboard. Partially for the convenience but also because it reminds me of computers like the commodore and others. I'm so happy to see this version launch. It could also do a lot for pi adoption as this is something you could easily give to someone as a simple linux computer.
Back to the future, all in one keyboard computer connected to the Tv... very Retro 80’s :D Who said we don’t run in circles?
Excellent job demonstrating the Pi 400. Cheers!
Ah brings me back to my old ZX Spectrum 48k days. Glad to see that a new generation can experience this as well, albeit in a much more powerful device. Great video as always.
Now if you are like me, and don't worry if you are there are medications available. Hahahaha! 🤣😂
I think alot of people wish they were like you. You make nerds looks cool.
😁
BEST MOMENT EVER!
Came here just for this comment.
We are kool
It looks like this thing designers have medications a lot of -- next idiotic design without the vent system. What about the heat and throttling, bro?
They should have called it the "Commodore 64 years later"
Brilliant !
I was thinking on the lines of ZX Spectrum.
Pimodore-64
Glad you're not in charge of anything
@@endoflevelboss My thoughts exactly.
Chris, this is awesome. Finally, my dream of a modern home computer based on Pi has become a reality.
Love your accent man! Music to the ears. Reminds me of my childhood
Thanks Christopher, That's great innovation from the Pi Foundation. Just in time for Christmas (hopefully). Let's hope it inspires a new generation of Tech Creators. Stay Safe.
We are of the same opinion! :)
Imagine running a web server on a keyboard
:)
And why not I remember some running a BBS on a Commodore Vic20. My Squeezebox server runs on a Pi2 hidden behind a bookshelf.
Or a NAS, a remote desktop client, using it as your daily driver... ;)
I remember running a simple home server on something similar. Remember era of cheap "netbooks" based on Intel atom N260? I got one with broken screen and I used it as a home server for a while.
It wasn't that bad. Lack of computing power wasn't really a problem, low power consumption and integrated UPS were nice features. The biggest problem was only one hard drive.
Had a friend at university that did a BBS hosting an online game with an Amiga 500.
These are great and the user guide is excellent reading. Thumbs up!
My kids were just asking me what I want for Xmas, well this will do nicely, great video and looking forward to having a play with the latest member of the Pi family.
What a wonderful little device! This is a great alternative to old EOLhardware/PCs for non-profit associations or schools... especially in this time and age is a very welcome product!
Yes indeed!
I literally just found out about this from a facebook post and thought "hmm, wonder if Explaining Computers has heard about this?" Only to find the review ready to go!
Looks really cool as well, definitely want one
Absolutely loved your medication quip, gave me a great chuckle!
I just got the pi4 model b and I am greatly appreciating it. Presently learning linux, Cybersecurity, and Network administration for better job opportunities and benefits. Always helps to learn new things when you are trying to make yourself better.
this is what I always thought a raspberry pi should be. I am glad they finally figured it out.
This is like a quantum upgrade of the Commodore 64 using "modern" components.
I was reading about new raspberry pi 400 this morning and imagined you doing the review first🙂
Good quality content as always Sir ✌️
Christopher seems like such a chill guy. Tnx for the video mate!
Bought one on the strength of your review, £93 in the UK. It is just lovely, the design of the unit, the matching, branded mouse and PSU! I'm using it to experiment with programming the Pico. My main computer is a £650 HP i7 laptop and while the 400 is slower how amazing that you get a nicely designed complete system (minus monitor) for a 7th the price complete with all the software. A great option for anyone who wants a basic computer to do everyday stuff.
Great to hear!
Its a good day when Chris uploads! 🙂
My first video of your channel, really liked it.
Great to hear! :)
What a wonderful, affordable, educational and entertainment tool.
Really good.
Thanks for posting.
This is so beautiful. Even as a dedicated Windows user i'm getting one of these. Well done Pi Foundation. You should be proud of yourselves.
Thanks Chris. Awesome video.
:)
There is already a full-fledged Windows 10 version (for ARM, of course), working reasonably well on RPi 4
@@user-xr3rb6pn9m Thank you my friend.
Very very exciting product! And I simply can't wait to get one, this is the Pi I've been waiting for. Can a computer be cute? looks like they can. Seeing made in the UK on the back really made me smile. Thanks for the video..Thumbs.
Excellent.
Tq.
I agree with you that it's recaptured teh essence of 1980's home computing which sparked the computer programming revolution.
I hadn't purchased earlier Pi's but now I've ordered two Pi 400's. Can't wait.
The Pi 400 has clearly made you a convert! :)
What a great video, as other commentators have said takes me right back to getting my first computer - a ZX81. Brilliant!
0:59 I was waiting for that : )
"Let's go and take a closer look"
I loved seeing Stanley the Knife make his appearance!
Professor Christopher introduced some really dark humour on his channel today 😂
Great video, as usual!
I resemble that age remark! And that was a really good introduction - take a well deserved bow.
Great video ! Very informative and you got my attention with raspberry pi systems.
I've been putting off purchasing a Rasperry Pi but there's something about it being in the keyboard that makes it really appealing haha
It's like a modern day microcomputer. This is one of the neatest products from the Raspberry Pi foundation.
Molto interessante, sono contento che si sta espandendo in vari modi per adattarsi alla esigenze delle persone 👏👏👏
Still since years for me, each time I look at raspi, I do not find any use case for my needs, but I love the concept.
Chris, I pre-date you a little, I got into computing when my employers moved off a Leo lll (tape operating system) onto an ICL system 4.50 mainframe. A vast roomful of iron boxes connected by 2" fat cables, it had wonderous new random access storage (3x 8mb exchangeable disc drives that I once put my back out lifting) but less ram and processing power than a poundshop calculator..... plus a separate building full of hvac plant and power provision.
No such thing as networks. In fact no such thing as screens (not even green ones), because delay line memory functionality (buffering) hadn't been invented yet. We had a teletype, cards/paper tape and hundreds of reel to reel tapes.
I finished in systems engineering and design in 2014. Still at it today but nobody is willing to pay me for it any more!
.... and yes, I had a zx81.
Likewise, sort of. I got into the game ca. 1980, on DEC hardware (PDP 11/45), and courtesy of the Great Recession, the little niche market I worked in (multivalue databases) went the way of the Passenger Pigeon, and nobody wanted to hire a 40+ year old programmer/analyst with an outdated skill set. So...jumped ship, and went into healthcare.
Still remember the day I got access to a real, live UNIX box to play with (PDP 11/24 with BSD 2.9 for an OS) and fell in love with it. Fast forward to today - using Linux Mint 20 as my daily driver, quad-core CPU, 4 GB RAM, All this lovely hardware and software, but no one'll pay me to work on it. Bittersweet, but I've got an exam in 3 hours - back to studying...
Neat!! And amazing. My first computer was a Sinclair ZX-80, with a membrane keyboard that hooked up to an old analog black-and-white TV. Advertised at the time as being the first computer for under $200, it came in at $199.95 - so the fact that this Pi 400 is about 1/2 the cost, pretty amazing. (even less if you factor in inflation). The Sinclair, BTW came with a whopping 1K (yes, you read that right, 1K of memory) and a tiny BASIC language. Funny thing was the memory looped around itself so if your program got too large, it would start overwriting itself! An optional memory expansion, I believe 16K, cost more than the computer itself. I traded up to a TRS-80 model III, quite a few more computers in the interim, now I've got a HP Z620 with dual core Xeon processors for a total of 16 cores, 32 hyperthreads, and 96 GB of RAM. Got it used on Amazon for $560. But this Pi looks like a fun machine - just might get one, for old times' sake and in a sense go back to the future, albeit on steroids from what I started with! Thanks for the overview!
Wow, I gotta say that is very good value. I hope they continue this line of Pi in the future. Right now I have no use for it, but I might someday.
Great video, love your enthusiasm. Yes, I am one of those people who used a Sinclair ZX81 which I later converted into a printer buffer for my Apple II clone. Just receivd my PI400, looking forward to the ride.
9:25 "If you are like me, and don't worry if you are, there are medication available" Chris, you're a gem.
I was going to order "The C64" for some retro goodness but now I think I will order this and install Retro Pi!
Great video as you are always do!
I would like to thank you for your detailed, and professional demonstration. I want one or more of them. I still have ZX81, Timex Sinclare, and the Timex line.
Amazing, I will definitely get one. I think this would have a lot of potential in third world countries where most people can't afford a regular desktop computer. My experience as a teacher in rural Colombia tells me that this could really help to expand access to technology.
Liked your video even before watching it :-) Ordered one within 5 mins of receiving Pi Hut email this AM. Guess what I will be playing with this weekend !
Nice review ! Congrats ! Thanks !
I was watching your video and recalling my first computer, the Timex-Sinclair ZX81, when you pulled your ZX81 out. Apparently making world-changing machines affordable and available to everyone, and explaining their operation in a thorough, often humorous way, is very English! Hip-Hip-Hooray Uncle Clive, Christopher Barnatt and Company! [Edit: Oh, and DUH, Hip-Hip-Hooray Raspberry Pi Foundation in the UK!]
I like when Chris says: "the world's favorite website" :)
Perfect for a shop/garage PC
@Lux Nox
What a GREAT idea. Been wanting one, but couldn't think of any real need, now I have one! Hmmm, need a keyboard protector and cover (duck tape? :) for the GPIO port.
Very good video with the temperatures
I will buy one! Very good review as always.
I’ve preordered a dozen of these purely for testing and trialing at work (a University) purely based on its form factor because it’ll be soooo much easier to manage these in a lab situation + much less intimidating for students. We also do a lot of outreach work with primary and high schools, so ditto there.
This video is like an episode of Tomorrow's World. That's a compliment!
a very illustrative and educational video. Thank you
This was a wonderful review. Thank you very much for this. I really enjoy your content.
Thanks for watching!
when you showed us the back, i immediately thought of my good old ZX81 and the wobbly 16k ram pack. learned to program with that. I bet this is so powerful compared to the good old ZX
This is absolutely wonderful and I want one for Xmas! We’ve also been talking of equipping our programming labs with RPis when classes get back to face-to-face and this would be perfect in that setting, a most welcome addition to the lineup.
This is brilliant! I love this too! Great review!
Took me back to those commodore 64 days! Awesome video as always.
Glad you enjoyed it!
