If you do pick up the Pi 400 what is are you going to run in it?
ETA Prime I don’t know. What Operating Systems are you planning to run on it?
My question is " is it worth losing the camera & display latches and the audio jack?"
@@PS_7015 I personally don’t think it is.
My RetroComputer machine with Sedai Linux.
@@PS_7015 you don't "lose" anything, it's a trade-off, those ports for a all-in-one computer
The circle is now complete. This is how they used to make computers, in a case, in the way-back-when.
Like my first computer : The Commodore 64 ! Loved that thing , and I still have it in working order ! ;-)
@@gertjanvandermeij4265 I adore my 64!
The before time in the long, long ago
The Sinclair!
TbH tough, this is "just" a Raspberry Pi with it's limited capabilities, not a "full" PC. A commodore or something like that was state of the art hot shit. However the price reflects that differents as well of course. Crazy how far we've come so far with computers, that thing is defenetly well suited for usual Office Bullshit and everything you'd do on the Internet and can handle a lot of Emulation tasks just fine. Including emulating the good old Amiga or Commodore as well.
Imagine people seeing this in the 80s...they would freak out.
It’s funny because it might seem like the logical thing to do with future technology, but they wouldn’t know we went though decades of huge computers with heatsinks and fans in between then and now.
@@kristiansims That is exactly what I thought when I first saw this thing !. We have come full circle. Who is going to be the first to make an aftermarket C64 case/keyboard for this thing ?.
@@lostxj We already got bare metal emulation. Search for BMC64.
for real man
It would have been more powerful than the ALL Commodore 64/128 in existence at the time :)
Friend: So where's your PC that you've been talking about?
Me: Right here, the keyboard.
Friend: Wha-- I don't even..
70-80's kids: First time?
Srill have a couple like my Commadore.
I was born in 72.. my first computer was an Amstrad CPC464 it had 64kb of ram .. I built a game on it and eventually run out of Memory.. I remember young me saying 'I need to get a computer with more memory, then I can finish my game' Well this PI is the closest looking alternative to what I imagined I needed to upgrade to, when I was young me.. I really think I might get this, to complete my game.. Maze Craze..
Page Yes Found!
Haha it’s the circle of life. Soon we will remove the motherboard completely and just have metal rods strike a paper producing letters. 🤔
Do you need a tethered monitor to start the install, or can it "cast" to a tv out of the box?
The Pi 400 reminds me of home computers from the early 80s like the C64 and ZX Spectrum. I'm pretty sure that's what the RPI Foundation were going for.
I would say a ZX81
Considering Ebon Upton credited the BBC Micro A & B for one of the inspirations for the original Raspberry Pi, I would not be surprised.
$100 and it can be any Micro you want it to be. How amazing is that?
Exactly, I was thinking the same thing. It really resembles these older computers
Yeah this whole thing reminds me of my good old MSX. My first computer :) Minus the tape drive for loading/saving data :D
For people from the C64, Amiga etc era, this kind of power for $100 in a standalone unit is astonishing even ignoring inflation.
it essentially is its own little modern C64 if you think about it
It's impressive even for someone born in the 2000's.
@@ChristopherGray00 its basically the same category of product for the modern day ... and guess what ? this thing can emulate C64 & Amiga very well
not to mention that the C64 was many people's first computer that they used to learn peogramming, which is one of the core reasons why the raspberry pi even exists , and the pi 400 is perfect for that job
This is probably the best review of the Raspberry Pi 400 that I've seen on TH-cam. It covered everything without too much fluff. Great video.
This is a great addition to the pi family. I have a stand-alone pi4 and was thinking about getting another but may get the 400 instead. The kit is the way to go as it’s ready right out of the box. The Raspberry pi4 is a fantastic SBC for the price. I really enjoy this site!. Have learned allot from watching your videos and you do a great job producing them. Keep up the good work.
They are evolving.
Soon they will be with a build in screen and will be foldable.
Laptop
@@monkeslayer-km5ho whoosh
Now a keyboard has more ram than my computer. Nice
🙃😅
*_When The Keyboard Has More Rams Than Your Pc_*
Lol 😆
What brand, and specs are your computer? :) I am a specification type of guy. My laptop is 8 GB RAM, Nvidia 1050, and 256 GB storage, with an Intel i7-8650U.
@@thatguyalex2835 The comment was satirical. My actually PC has 4x as much RAM as what was featured in the video lol
I've been thinking of this for days, but been waiting for reviews. Looks cool.
I am completely impressed with your presentation aspect and how clean and clear your explanations are! subscribed!
We have monitors at the university and i would bring my raspberry pi 4, my keyboard and mouse to the library to work. It was really annoying to carry all these around every time. This Pi 400 solves my issue perfectly.
wow - you're right - super easy, compact way to dock!
Same, there was a TV area in the library that was mostly unused (in place to watch DVDs), so I brought in a Pi and keyboard/mouse and turned those TVs into my own computer. That was so -long- much effort (and I ended up losing a keyboard!) and if the 400* was available then, I would have loved it (and probably not have bothered even getting a laptop, as there wouldn’t have been a need for one!)
(* of course taking into account the 4th gen power! I already have a Pi 4 but I’m -tempted to buy- already bought a 400 now, which I'm loving...)
Thank you for bringing us amazing content during these tough times!
Idk what to say
What's tough? Just a little bump in human history
This is a super computer. I have it on my desk (w/ it's own monitor), next to my main machine. I'm using Synergy to control both computer with a single mouse and keyboard (the one from the main PC). However -- the Pi 400 is a great ARM development machine.
i was waiting for. a while to watch this thing review in your channel...
thanks for making itttt.....✨❤
This Keyboard Computer really takes me back in time, when I owned the Vic-20, C-64, C128, The Amiga 500 and The Amiga 600.... I am working on making this RPI 400 a Emulation Machine for Those Older Computers.... I really like this Computer!
The only downside for me is that they took away the 3.5mm audio jack which ETA does not mention. It's great for kids just to plug some cheap speakers or headphones in there.
Also composite video is gone...
Guess the Bluetooth can replace the audio jack?
Most monitors that I've used come with a 3.5mm audio jack on the back of them, so I'm assuming they'd want people to directly connect to their monitor instead of the Pi 400. But I do agree that it would be more convenient if it was on the keyboard itself.
You can get a usb sound card that will have a 3.5mm audio jack for like 2 bucks online. It'd be nice if the 400 had the 3.5mm jack, but it's easy enough to use a usb adapter.
well thatd be a deal breaker for me. no excuse for this
I'm interested to see how PSP now performs on the Pi 4, particularly now with Vulkan support. There are limited videos on this subject, but results so far seem promising.
Awesome review, always can rely on you for doing a good job. Thanks for the video.
Straight up tear down;) I've got quite a few projects I can use this for! Cheers for another great one bro.
this would make a great gift
perhaps a bit expensive, but for the right person, at the right time, it'd be absolutely perfect
You think this is expensive? Lol
No name brand tablets cost more lol
@@switzerland593 not everyone has the same price genius and not everyone has cash for mini computer that they don't need.
U could send it me as gift.Why not?
Worth bearing in mind that the unit by itself is quite a bit cheaper, and the bits that come in the kit may not be needed. The good thing about the 400 is that it's effectively the Pi 4, keyboard, case and cooling all in one, and hopefully the only things to source would be a micro HDMI adapter/cable and a microSD card (and should be easy to get!)
I love your accent/voice, you have a narration voice, easy to listen to, makes whatever you say interesting and makes me listen solidly. I've learnt a lot from you, it's just a shame I have no gadgets unfortunately, homelessness and all that but I still enjoy watching your videos. I have somewhere to live now, it's not great but it's somewhere. I'd love a computer of sorts, I miss everything computing wise.
I hope things keep improving for you and you can get back into computing!
@@ScoutsIX3 Ditto and thank you 😊
I suspect it has to do with getting a decent mic and knowing how to eq it for his voice, but that takes know-how too. Agreed and kudos to Prime.
Be been specifically hanging out waiting on your review 😃
Got one on preorder here in Australia, super excited.
bro is it working fine....whats ur review plz explain me😥
Excellent video, informative and well produced. Your video helped me to decided to order one and I look forward to experimenting with it. Again great job!
its just like the 80's again :)
That’s the same thing I thought lol 😂
The C64 is back.
@@mrk131324 yea basically
But speed
I wonder if we can install Double Space on this badboy LOL :) I miss the 80's
I just bought one because it strongly reminds me of the old-days-gone home computers, all in a case, keyboard and storage, ports on the sides, turn on and operate. It is also beautifully styled and it does everything you need withot turning on my 550W PC (which I shall use only for gaming). For everything else, including emulating anything in the home computer history records, this is more than enough. And it's cute.
woah I never even thought of this.
this is awesome!
Awesome review and teardown! Thanks for your work.
The R pi Foundation should design the 400 so that it can take Compute modules so users can swap them out for upgrades.
They could have done that, and discussed it. Apparently it would make the 400 $5-10 more expensive.
@@JamesDuncan I’d pay that. Thanks for sharing!
@@JamesDuncan: Wait would that include the equivalent CM4, or be more expensive and without the CM? If it’s the former I wouldn’t mind much, of course provided the keyboard lasts long!
Absolutely love this thing. Now I know what I'm getting myself for christmas.
How’d it work out?
@@SlugSage they didn't have British keyboard in stock so I didn't get one yet
Hey hud. I want to thank you for making this. Making videos likd this is work. It takes time. I appericate what you do, sharing information and your way of doing it is clear and concise. I only clicked this because I've been thinking of making a raspberry pi or arduino [Not sure then differences between them i assumed it was brand, its been a while since i wanted to get one for not just games but a internal relay system type using these. Having an internet kind of sharing outside the reg. Net, my friend did it before in a study i want to find iirc he showed me his which was a very small version 231 people , the Line we called it because it grew and grew it was a hotbed for info and programs. We crwated a micro internet in the most simple way to put it, wasn't easy one guy did a lot of the coding and algorithmic parts. The part that was a pain was getting thru the red tape of putting fiber optics ANS copper wiring (for important reasons needed both) along roughly 10 by 21 mile [imperial i assume as this is for English users not Private Military Company workers, I speak Italian first, German, second. Japanese and English i grew up learning. And still am bad at English when writing or typing i type a lot im also in hospital for cancer so foggy n waiting surgery. Sorry for lobg comment. Thabks for rhe time in this. And reknewing my interest
Love your video bro, the way you test the device with emulation system its unique and awesome content that not so many youtuber did
I'd like to know if it will betaflight configurator, it sounds like I will be needing a new system as of there next update... thanks for everything!
🥃cheers🍻
I love this form factor, it's only missing midi ports. I would love a modern day Atari ST built like this, honestly all modern desktops should adopt this form factor as industry standard.
Very thorough review. They really did a nice job with the heat shield
I saw many reviews of pi 400, but I didn't watched it, waiting for you to upload one.👍
Love it. It's like computers from the '80s. Absolutely love it!
I recently ordered one of the Standalone units, can't wait for it to come in! Will make a nice travel PC/Emulation machine while traveling.
bro have you got it .....and how its working plz give ur review
Thanks for this demystifying teardown.
Remind me of the Commodore, Sinclair systems back then but with a much smaller footprint.
Could you please make a video on the display screen alternatives one can use with this Pi400 other than Desktops of TVs?
Extremely professional and to-the-point review.
It would be so cool to make it completely wireless by adding an internal battery to it and by using the HDMI wireless transmitter that you showed off a couple of weeks ago
Not just a heat shield, its a RF shield to meet FCC requirements.
that's not actually a requirement anymore.
But the Pi4 has nearly the same harder without RF shield except maybe the PCB ground plane... RF shields usually completely encapsulate rather than just a sheet connected to ground in few locations. Also, if it was primarily RF shield, they would have probably gone with thin steel rather than medium gauge aluminum.
Ty for the vid! Just ordered a Pi4 2gb ram model. Totally new to he Pi platform. Cant wait for it to get here and start tinkering. This 400 is awesome! If all goes well, I'm totally going to have to scoop one of these as well!
Its such a perfectly little prototyping pi when you want to tinker with things... i love it so much its so cute and perfect.
I’d love to see one of these with an m.2 slot for an actual SSD instead of just microSD support. USB 3 external drives just wouldn’t be the same. A little 256GB m.2 SSD (even SATA, not NVMe) would be killer. Love seeing the little advances in the Pi’s!
Would also be more expensive than the pi. But I do agree
So basically, it's a new microcomputer 30 years after that form factor went out of fashion. Neat!
The Raspberry Pi always did have a feel of a hangover from that 70s/80s era of home computing which was basically all about nerdy kids tinkering with their computers and just trying to make them do cool stuff. Now they've just made that link even more apparent.
Maybe, or view it as a notebook without an attached screen?
Best review around. Thank you 😍
Great presentation. Thank you so much.
I am brand new to all of this and am super excited to get this started I know it cant run everything but I would like to know what to steer clear of that way i dont break my Pi
Thanks for tearing it down for us!
The Pi 400 was my daily driver for nearly 2 years. Excellent little machine. Handled basic everyday tasks well enough as well as 3D slicing software etc. Now one of two, sits on my desk, setup to run Pimiga, when I want to jump down the Amiga rabbit hole!
I’ve been thinking about getting one of these and I was a little cheesed by the placement of the gpio pins, as I like doing robotics and this would mean I can’t attach a gpio leaf to it, but then I realised... why would I use this for a robot? I will probably still get it tho, it would be excellent for controlling my the robot
Bought it in an instant. Coolest thing since ZX Spectrum Sinclair.
I wrote just the same! My first computer was a ZX!
scam
Nice to see something like this getting made. I might consider getting this for my little brother, now that he has been exposed to emulation and gaming on a PC for sometime.
Just ordered one. Hope you have more videos about this unit and the many things you can do with it. I loved the Amiga Pi 400 video. Some Hat stuff and some Pi Pico and gameboy Emulation would be great too. I heard you can use everything together. IDK what I am talking about though.
Nice video - seems like a nice piece of kit. Could be an ideal replacement for older 32-bit netbooks that are no longer going to be supported by Linux Ubuntu (Canonical) after April 2023. Something to look forward to in the coming months - maybe an 8gb might appear next year.....
I've never owned or used a Raspberry Pi but I ordered one of these kits out of sheer curiosity. Definitely will be poring over that manual that comes with it.
Thanks mate for reviewing vid!!
Very detailed video, always curious about the inside layout of a pi 400 and you did it! Would be nice if the video also covers some popular online games, such as games on Poki/CrazyGames, like Bullet force.
More ports than many laptops 10 times the price. I’m looking at you Apple.
2 thunderbolt 3 is more versatile than what’s on the pi400
never been a fan of them but the m1 series are pretty solid
@@Skeuomorph1c thunderbolt is not proprietary lmao
@@Skeuomorph1c all thunderbolt ports are usb c, any usb c cable can be plugged into it, thunderbolt also means less wires not more
@@Skeuomorph1c LMAO what are you even talking about? are confusing thunderbolt with lightning?
It'd be cool to see a "pro" version with an m.2 PCIe slot, up to 8GB possibly 16GB RAM along with the ability to plug in the Raspberry Pi High Quality camera module, or go with a design that utilizes the CM4 module with the aforementioned ports.
Great video! Thanks for the excellent content.
Nice! I installed the IoT stack on it and am using it as a hub for home automation. It is the only Pi 4 I found for under $100 in Dec 2021.
In the 80’s I had a Vic 20. I was jealous of some of my friends who had the Commodore 64. 😂😂
can you test the emulation of PS1 (or even PS2) on this?
Also, would be nice to see how it behaves running different operating systems (like the new Ubuntu).
Great informational video. Thanks👍
thanks for tear down section. bought this exciting RP400 recently. idea is to use it for home automation.
Units like these could really reshape lots of schools in the third world!
even 1st world
This thing runs better than the dells we had at the college I went to…
to be honest it would reshape a lot of schools in arkansas, which is supposedly in a 1st world country but the state's school system is 3rd world quality
yea as what others posted these would be great in any schools not just 3rd world
key word being could. nobody cares enough for the education system in any given country.
Yo! I use raspberry pi 4 for my online classes and all my tasks! I can do all the multi tasking. My pi 4 is overclocked to 2ghz on processing and 700mhz on graphics
Is it still holding up?
Nothing I enjoy more on this channel than watching you tear things apart(sometimes with you bare hands haha).
I love the beginning of the video the intro, showing ETA PRIME sitting down ina futuristic world somewhere in a apartment building playing old school emulated games. Awesome 😊
3:15 the closest thing we'll get to a face reveal.
I was hoping you had a robot head...
Lmao 😂
I think he's republican.
@@blanchehermine How did you deduce that? Solely from his goatee? lol
@@RamyWarda he's also from Alaska.
@@blanchehermine Why would that matter?
Wondering how this would do with Windows 10 on ARM with the 2.2 GHz OC. Would appreciate if you could test that too. It would make a perfect light desktop for my folks with very few cables and stuff if it works okay. Cheers.
no body has been able to install any windows on the raspberry yet maybe in the future some body will finger it out bot it can not be done at the moment
just get it for your parents and install a supported Linux disto on it
you can make it look the same as any normal windows
and the want know the difference
@@lesnelson3458 It's been done on a Pi 4. I wanted to see the performance on this chip + cooling solution, marginal as the changes may be. th-cam.com/video/n1AXJjpM0L8/w-d-xo.html
P.S.: My folks are older people who can't tinker with the command line and need apps they are familiar with. Handing them a skinned Linux is not the solution.
That MvC2 uuugh so amazing.
Love the 3B and 4B pi boards for retro gaming just fantastic
The keyboard is connected to a USB 2 port internally, iirc (via the ribbon cable)
I think there is a chip between the pi and the ribbon cable that has the controller for the keyboard itself, but you’re right that that chip uses one of the USB lines.
My British gamer friends who owned a Spectrum in the 80s must be at awe
Very interesting, love technology. Thumbs up!
Nice thermals graph. Bonus points for recording your room temperature to a thousandth of a degree C like a boss.
I would love to see a video on how to install Android OS, Boot from SSD with shutdown option. Use it as Android TV for my regular TV. Can we use external GPU with Pi 400.
its real hard to get something like android to run on the raspberry pi the only way to sort of android to run is by installing lineage os that is based on android
I didn't see a headphone/mic jack on the back there. I'd probably throw a usb sound card on that 2.0 port to get audio in/our that way.
Yes, I think that having a "personal computer" proposal should have removed the IO header to free up physical space and put conventional HDMI output + the audio jack for headphone
I just use speakers connected to my monitor as always (better sound than monitor speakers) then plug the HDMI cable into the monitor.
@@stephenelliott7071 I prefer using headphones, which I suppose you could do over Bluetooth, but the option not being there slightly bothers me.
@@DigitalJedi I can plug headphones into the headphone out port on one of the speakers (rather than the pi). Again a widely available feature.
@@stephenelliott7071 true. I forgot about that.
I'm just shocked this is the first time I have heard of Pi Apps!!!! This thing is AMAZING!!! Why isn't everyone talking about this?
The announcement of this was a pleasant surprise. I know some found it puzzling, but I like this variant of the Pi. I was considering picking up their desktop kit in the past because I like the look of their keyboard and could use another one, but it never made sense for me to actually buy one. It seemed like a bad value since the included case was useless due to the thermal needs of the Pi 4. This is a different story and much more appealing to me. It's nice to finally see a Pi 4 board with proper cooling included. That's one of the things I've always liked about Hardkernel's Odroid boards. They've almost always had good thermal solutions. I may just get one of these.
tbf would be interesting to see an office with like 10 of these for basic word processing and browsing then at night they could be turned int oa cluster to run calculations
1:18 It doesn't have a microphone (Correction: Headphone) port as well...
Yeah, but so far no Raspberry Pi has had one, a shortcoming for sure, but an expected one, analog audio out not being available is less expected. Nothing that can't be fixed with a USB audio adapter thought, but I would have built one in together with a USB 2.0 hub for more ports. Production cost would have gone up with a few dollars/Euro's/Pounds at most.
@@dv7533 : My Blunder. I meant Headphone port. (corrected)
@@DaHaiZhu ah, yeah, that makes sense.
Your video intro is awesome, would love to get that for wall paper engine. (steam sourced motion backgrounds for win 10)
Thank you for review.
Glad I didn't buy a pi 4 yet. I've been waiting for something like this.
This thing is pretty damned sexy.
With this keyboard I can play RosenkreuzStilette and RosenkreuzStilette FreudenStachel. A perfect gift for Christmas.
Kind of makes me nostalgic for my old Apple ][+. Yes, I meant the spelling. That is how it is written on the case. This new product is definitely in line with the Raspberry Pi Foundation's original concept of getting cheap experimental computer to kids so they could learn computer science. If anything, it is its finest form.
Wow, hadn't heard anything about this. Very cool.
Kinda glad I waited on my purchase of a Raspberry Pi 4. I would've been happy with it, but this throwback to the Amiga A1200 and the C64 with the decent//good cooling plus the built-in power "button" really adds an extra layer of coolness for me.
I think they knocked it out of the park. This is effectively a 1-purchase solution which makes it much more accessible to everyone... not that the RP4 isn't accessible, but this one is more so.
I'm just waiting for something in the price range of a Pi able to run PS2 games at full speed. I imagine it's just a couple of generations of Pi away.
3:16 ETA has a goatee, confirmed.
Amazing video, kudos for the teardown. We can see they put a lot of efforts on it. Wondering if it'll work fine with a bluetooth mouse (so, less cables in the table!). One concern I have is related to the RAM. A few browser tabs opened will kill the RAM quickly.
I use a bluetooth mouse, keyboard and headphones on my Raspberry Pi 4, since the underlying hardware and software isn't really any different I have no doubt it will work fine on the 400. My mouse was a pain to pair up though, but that was due to the mouse being very difficult to get into pairing mode, together with an extremely short pairing mode, not the fault of the Raspberry Pi.
@@dv7533 Thanks for the feedback!
I think the layout of the board is great for heat distribution. That's why they can overclocked it without an extra fan. I am sure there will be third parties willing to make a cooling fan dock and eventually Pi will introduce versions of other color as well.
Quite a lot of wasted space on the Custom/Revision'ed Board, which could easily fit in full-size HDMI and even PCI-e slot and eMMC slot.
With the amount of space they have on this Board, they could even make a 16GB RAM variant as well without much issue (though i guess it would up the cost and power draw).
Wouldn’t the PCIE slot take the connection that is used by the Ethernet? Not sure about eMMC, that might use the same bus as SD. Full size hdmi would have been glorious, though.
@@kristiansims the raspberry pi 4 compute module has PCI-e capabilities. I don’t know if there’s a trade off or not
And a P2 port hahah
@@johnsherby9130: oops, yeah, you’re right-it’s the USB 3, not gigabit Ethernet, my bad. The CM4 doesn’t have USB 3, and previous hacks to put PCIE on normal Pi 4’s involved replacing the USB 3 ports (and I previously mixed that up with Ethernet which is how I got it confused before).
This thing is good when you don't have a Computer.
So you can watch Videos and search the Web for a New Computer! Haha
well i mean apart from gaming and video editing,this thing is good to use as a dekstop computer
I'm actually quite surprised that people were rarely thinking about this sort of enclosure for Rpi.
Still, I'm glad that we have a dedicated one, now it's time for black-red color combo!
I'm wanting to build a magic mirror with one of these I feel like that form factor will be much easier to mount with some slight mod, excited to try this one
