Pi400

[Brian Beuken]

well I'm still waiting for the supplier to respond to my return request, so I tried to fire it up, and burning an SD and plugging in it worked perfectly. But even with a damaged keyboard, I have to say I like this machine, I like it a LOT, its very nippy, the keyboard (the bits that work) is quite usable, no worse than most 80's home systems, or some cheaper laptops, and it's not even close to getting warm when I stress it out.

Overall, this is what I have been hoping to see from Raspberry for years, a plug and play system to appeal to noobs who just want a decent computer that they can flex their brains with.

I really hope it takes off. I see a lot of criticisim of it based on some of the things that are missing, like camera slots etc, but they miss the point, this is a computer for computing, and it does that brilliantly for under 100euros.  My only criticism of it is, why keep the micro HDMI's when you have a redesigned board that you could make space for full size, or gone to 1 slot... its minor though.

Chapeau RP Foundation, this is a triumph
