Bought this as Christmas gift for my 13 year old son, who’s really in to his tech and coding. So thought I’d wait till he’s actually used it over the Xmas break before giving a review. Delivery was prompt and well packaged. Everything arrived in pristine condition and my son was absolutely delighted. He was able to set it up to use very easily, you can connect it to your tv. Excellent for coders and for add ons pc wise. Literally everything he wanted it to be: his own words. As a parent it’s worth the investment/ buying for all young coders out there and anyone who’s looking for an easy way to develop your coding skills and create things. Great kit for learning advanced coding as well. It’s great you can actually buy all these products from your website. Something which I have struggled to find and purchase online, up until now. So thank you Pi Hut !!

Lovely little self contained complete computer kit, actually kind of reminds me of getting a ZX Spectrum back in the day, if you are buying it without knowing a lot about Pi's dont expect a gaming powerhouse (Although building a Retropie is pretty great) and just have fun with it. Well worth the cost and very fast delivery. Many thanks.

I was looking at getting the Pi 4 but when the Pi 400 was announced I knew this would be the better option for me, the board appears to be slightly more powerful than the original Pi 4 and comes built into a sleek keyboard, offering the same connections as the Pi 4, conveniently placed across the back and readily accessible, for me this is the most convenient aspect of the Pi 400, no more looking around for a separate keyboard and having to deal with unsightly cables everywhere. The big advantage of getting the kit is that it comes with everything you need to start your first Pi Project as it comes with all the required cables needed. You also get a matching mouse, pre-installed SD Card, and an official 4th Edition Beginners Guide Book that has been updated specifically for the Pi 400. The only drawback I found was that it does not come with a headphone jack, this is not a problem if you are using a TV, but as I am using a monitor with HDMI in there is no sound, but this was easily resolved with an HDMI Audio Extractor, there are other options available like a USB sound card, even though the one I tested did not work there are ones that do but this does use up a USB port that I could use for other peripherals, so an HDMI Audio Extractor made more sense, that said I still give the Pi 400 5 Star rating as its an awesome piece of kit.

Got this for my boyfriend who is a coder for a living. He absolutely loves it and the fact that it's inbuilt into a wireless keyboard. He's already bought another SD card, and is obsessed. He plans to buy at least another 3 rpi's and stack them together for future projects. Well worth the money for the excitement it caused the little nerd. 10/10

Fourth Pi purchased, an original for my eldest, a Pi2 for my daughter a couple of years later, then another to tinker with. Now the 400 for my youngest, evoking memories of my spectrum & electron in its form factor, it just feels right.

Thank you. My pi came in excellent condition, I already connect it from time to time and study how I can use it in personal projects. Surprisingly, I unfortunately had a British power plug. So I had to buy an adapter. True, I am worried that in theory there may be problems associated with this fact. But I will hope for the best. In the near future, I want to search the site for various sensors, look for inspiration in various sources If possible, once in a certain period of time, for example 6 months, send a link to the review. As soon as possible, I will take photos for you. Thanks again for such a great tool. I hope you are doing well and you feel great. Best regards, Valentin Sirbu.
