An excellent piece of kit for the beginner computer coder. The keyboard doesn't run hot and is surprisingly warm to touch. Access to the GPIO pins will require an additional purchase of a Pi-T-Cobbler and ribbon cable. This kit will extends the pins to a breakout board. (See Chapter 6 for exercises for physical computing). It would have been helpful to have a few components included in the kit to work through the exercises. There is a minor problem with the WiFi dropping out, but this may be a software glitch or power saving option. The Beginner's guide handbook (4th Edition) may confuse the beginner in some areas. For example Chapter 4 which covers Scratch Version 3 exercises points to missing files, you will need to use some imagination and use alternative background scenes and sprites. Overall a useful piece of kit to learn about computer software coding.

Having been a long time user of the Pi I was eger to get my hands on one of these, as I have bought from the PiHut before it was my first port of call, product was in stock (I've seen many people complaining of not being able to get one from other suppliers) sent same day and delivered quickly. Product is an excellent addition to the Pi range and good to use as a retropie machine.

This product is amazing and very easy to use, highly recommend it, the fact that is all in on one all you have to attach is the mouse! And it came with a beginner book, very handy.

As a self proclaimed Raspberry Pi fan boy I’ll just say that the Pi400 is radical. A wonderful hark back to the all in one computers like my ZX Specktrum, Atari 400 etc. Very easy to setup and it’s quick. I’m using mine for both BBC microbitcsnd Arduino development and all the programming tools work out the box. Ok I’ll address the audio issue, I can’t get sound out of the HDMI no matter what I try. However a quick solution for anyone who needs audio it get a cheap Bluetooth speaker, works great. No overheating issues from my testing so built in heat sink is doing a great job. Also runs RetroPi great.
