The Pi400 would be a perfect first computer. It runs faster than the Pi4 and doesn't get hot due to the colossal copper heat spreader inside it.

It really is a BBC B modern equivalent.

The Raspberry Pi 4 has been upgraded to run at the same speed as the 400, from 1.5GHz to 1.8GHz https://www.raspberrypi.com/products/raspberry-pi-4-model-b/...

I really like the form factor, if only there would be some off-the-shelf options for a mechanical keyboard version ..

I know there are plenty DIY projects for this (and the cyberdeck scene is a rabbit hole that I do not dare to go down), but it would be nice something more easily available.

Yeah the 400 made it difficult to fit a replacement keyboard. It will be really nice if the 500 has an RP2040 for the keyboard controller instead of the fixed function Holtek thing in the 400. Then the keyboard FPC connector would be a second secret GPIO bank :-)

The Amiga 500, then 30 years later, the Raspberry 500.

I'd buy one. Probably more.

Amiga 500? Yeah, I would too.

Currently got two A500 and one A500+, and feel like I could use more ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
