“What a really beautiful and functional piece of kit. Setup was so easy although my TV was reluctant to see the R4PI at first so I connected another item on the HDMI port and then it reconized it every time. Easy to set up for remote access once fully functional and loaded with personal software. SSH so simple for accessing it as well as the installation of RustDesk. Now to setup my own RustDesk server on board so I can access my other computers locally rather than be serviced by a remote RustDeask server (their own secured ones). Next to start interfacing with remote controls in the house on a single device than shared between IOS Windoze Arduino and Linux. Thanks to the team at Pi-Hut for providing the immediate order once in stock - Cant fault them. Good luck to one and all Enjoy the PI 400 - I know I am!”

“I haven't had time to figure out what I can do with the Pi 400, and e.g. haven't even considered electronics projects yet. The Pi 4, Pi Zero W or Pi Pico are probably better fits for electronic projects in practice, though it's still good that the Pi 400 provides the GPIO connector - the Pi 400 seems better for learning the operating system and programming basics, and being able to connect at least basic prototype electronics projects. Very impressive kit, with good performance and a very useful getting started manual. One issue I had at first was with a known-good monitor constantly cutting out. This was using a known-good HDMI cable but with a micro-HDMI adapter that (1) put significant weight on the micro-HDMI port and (2) I've never used before - it came bundled with a mini-HDMI adapter I needed years ago. Testing with the cable included with the Pi and another monitor it was clear the problem was that adapter, but changing HDMI cables around on my main monitor is non-trivial, so I bought some HDMI-to-micro-HDMI short adapter cables from the Pi Hut which solved the issue.”

“I have been using my Pi now for about 2 weeks. I have managed to run multiple programs on it but not pushed it as yet. I have replaced the provided microSD card with a 128GB card, as the 16GB was far too low capacity, and installed additional software. It is a good computer to use for learning; Linux, and programming and for doing some administration-type work. I think it would benefit from options for more RAM and possibly an internal SSD rather than a microSD card. However, an external SSD can be connected via a USB port. I have a spare HDD that I will try first, but will need to get a powered hub as the current load will probably be too high for the Pi's power supply to cope. Otherwise a good computer.”

“Initially, I did have problems getting started beyond a static colour spectrum display, using two monitors separately. Then using a third monitor succeeded, this was after contacting the support team and researching the web. I have now yet to explore its potential with my memories of the early 1980s when using the BBC Micro and BBC Basic programming.”

“I filled in the notify when available option on the PiHut site and they did just that. I received a notification, placed an order and 3 days later I'm the proud owner of a Pi/400. The order process was easy and used the option to pay via Amazon. As for the Pi/400 it's a great little all-in-one machine, looks neat on my desk with its matching mouse. Everything was delivered in a nice sturdy cardboard box and no 'in postage' damage anywhere.”

“I've been using one for some time. It's main task is to run Mosquitto and a Node-Red server, to remotely monitor industrial equipment and control the boiler and heating in my house. Now my children are learning Python at school and I needed another one. It helps them a lot, because the school does not have the right equipment and the teachers are not very good. The Raspberry P400 is ideal to learn Python on, because there are a lot of Python courses based on the Raspberry Pi. Also having a dedicated computer at home for that, allows them to do it in their own time.”
