“In the old days, there was only Windows. Bloated expensive software, big boxes and so on.
Then came Linux and other freeware offerings to challenge the business model. Volunteers and dedicated programmers showed that business could be had in open products, without the strangle hold of a few major vendors.
With this superb little computer, you can choose from many operating systems, use HDMI monitors and just with an additional mouse and power supply away you go.
I have already amassed a selection of labeled sd cards that run different things. So depending on whether its games, graphics, photography or Netflix etc. I can run lean, fast and without the drag of endless apps sapping cpu time for updates or popups.
The usb3 guarantees that quality memory cards, drives or other connections transfer data as fast as needed and with 64 Gb sd cards being as cheap as they are, if you crash for any reason it's no biggy to be up and running with a spare back up in 2 minutes, as I save to a USB3 memory which always keeps my last download etc.
For quality streaming, learning loads of new languages, processing sound, pictures and do at home stuff, why would you buy a PC when this is so neat, clutter free and nippy to use?
Love it, Love it, Love it!”
“Absolutely brilliant, I have teamed mine up with a 13 inch portable monitor and I am very satisfied with my Pi 400.
Thank you for your help Pimoroni.”
“Package arrived as promised, all contents intact. We plugged it together and booted up with no problems. Good choice of installed software on the Micro SD card - Minecraft Pi edition is a definite hit (though still trying to find an elegant way to quit the program). Worth choosing the kit to have the official beginner's guide included.”
“This is taking me back to my BBC micro days. BUT one exception...This is so far advance and quarter the price !
No more installing EPROMS and typing *PASCAL it's all here
Great Service from Pimoroni to Hong Kong, Box wrapped and cushioned in paper not plastic bubble. good for climate!
Ready to go and buy more great products from Pimoroni.
Howard in HK”
“Bought this as a cheap, lightweight "desktop" computer. Ideal for web browsing, editing documents and my son to practice coding on. Also runs Steam Link pretty well.”
