The Raspberry Pi 400 desktop PC kit offers high performance, power efficiency and availability in six language variants
element14 has announced the availability of the new-to-market Raspberry Pi 400 desktop computer. Available in ready-to-use kit form, the Raspberry Pi 400 is an ideal desktop computer for use in the home or education. Raspberry Pi 400 can also be purchased on its own for use in industrial and commercial applications including point-of-sale terminals and thin clients.
Raspberry Pi 400 kit integrates the keyboard and electronic components into a fully-enclosed compact unit and offers a clock speed of 1.8GHz, which is 20 per cent higher than Raspberry Pi. The kitted variants comprise a Raspberry Pi 400, pre-programmed SD card, power supply, mouse, Beginner’s Guide and micro HDMI cable; all that is required to start using Raspberry Pi 400 is a television monitor.
The Raspberry Pi 400 provides high performance and a rich feature, including:
- Processor: a 28nm Broadcom BCM2711 quad-core ARM Cortex-A72 64-bit processor clocked at 1.8GHz, offering industry-leading performance and power efficiency.
- Memory: 4GB LPDDR4-3200 RAM and a micro SD card slot for the operating system, application and data storage.
- Connectivity: dual-band 802.11ac wireless networking delivering real-world data rates of more than 100Mbps, Gigabit Ethernet and Bluetooth 5.1. The two SuperSpeed USB 3.0 ports can be used to connect a wide range of peripherals.
- Multimedia: two micro-HDMI ports, supporting up to 4Kp60.
- Interfacing: customers can easily integrate Raspberry Pi 400 into embedded designs using the horizontal 40-Pin GPIO header.
Raspberry Pi 400 is available in six keyboard languages for the UK, Germany, France, Italy, Spain and North America.
“The innovative Raspberry Pi 400 provides all the functionality of a desktop computer in a small footprint, and at an affordable price point. While Raspberry Pi 4 broke barriers in its versatility for use as a desktop PC, Raspberry Pi 400 puts this computing power in an attractive and user-friendly package, making it an ideal desktop PC solution for everyone. This is a game-changing product and is a real contender in providing affordable desktop devices as well as fast-to-market embedded solutions,” said Lee Turner, Global Head of Semiconductors and SBC at Farnell and element14.
The Raspberry Pi 400 desktop computer is available from Farnell in EMEA, Newark in North America and element14 in APAC.
