Great bit of kit. Very fast. Installed RVM, NVM, goenv, phpenv and pyenv to enable me to develop. Docker and docker-compose also work. Dual screens (1080p) without breaking a sweat. Runs vscode all the things I've tried so far. Really impressive, came fast. Thoroughly recommend.

I ordered a Pi 400 Kit soon after its launch, in early November 2020. Pi Hut had it in my hands 2 days later, in perfect working order. A very neat kit with only a suitable display required. Installed and running in 30 minutes. Drives a 28inch UHD monitor at max resolution perfectly - impressed. Having the whole system bundled into the keyboard is perfect for a system that needs a user interface, as mine does. The Pi 400 has a built-in heatsink which also deals very effectively with the overheating problem that occurred on the Pi 4. The one negative is the built-in WiFi subsystem. The performance of this at first was very poor - I had to upgrade the driver code to get acceptable performance. Supposedly this upgrade will get bundled into the next version of Raspbian, but it ain't the default at the moment. You can read about this update on the Pi forums.

The computer is awesome, and I went right back to the late 80, early 90 with Amiga/Commodore emulation etc. works super! The deliverytime wasn´t good though, 3 weeks from UK to Sweden, but it is probably covid issues??? Thanks, Andreas

What a fantastic piece of kit, compact and neat sitting on my desk. The Rapsberry Pi 400 is easily powerful enough to be my day-to-day computer. Great service from the PiHut, fast and efficient and very helpful.

I was very pleased with my order and everything worked as it should. The only thing that went wrong was the user (me) when I accidently did something which caused the system to crash and burn. I tried to get an debian ISO to re-install it and it started again. Great. It did work but it was different to the original. I have now installed an Ubuntu 20.10 ISO and it works fine. Many thanks to your support staff for helping me. The Raspberry pi 400 will suit most people. If you use your TV as a monitor you might find the desktop is to big which most you might be able to correct on your TV by altering the overscan. My old TV has no way of doing this so I had to buy a new Monitor. Shame there is no way to alter the overscan via the Pi 400. Good luck; this is a very nice ready to go system.

Bought as a temporary desktop replacement for basic internet browsing, emails, iPlayer, some minor document editing etc. It was up and running in no time, and whilst not fast for this role, it is perfectly adequate. When I get the time, I look forward to having a look at some of the other features like Python. The manual is entry level, but very well written, so pretty much anyone, from young kids upwards should have no problem getting going. Delivery was excellent.
