Raspberry Pi's new keyboard computer can power an optional $100 display

Raspberry Pi has launched the Raspberry Pi 500, an upgraded computer integrated into a keyboard, starting at $90. This model features a 2.4GHz 64-bit quad-core Arm Cortex-A76 processor and 8GB of RAM, making it more powerful than its predecessor, the Raspberry Pi 400. For those seeking a complete setup, a $120 Desktop Kit is available, which includes a matching mouse, power supply, micro HDMI cable, and a beginner's guide. Additionally, Raspberry Pi introduced a $100 monitor with a 15.6-inch full HD IPS display and built-in speakers, which can be powered directly from the Raspberry Pi 500 or its predecessor, although using its own power supply is recommended for optimal performance. The Raspberry Pi 500 also includes various connectivity options, such as two USB 3.0 ports, Bluetooth 5.0, and support for dual 4K displays via micro HDMI ports. The older Raspberry Pi 400 will remain available at a reduced price of $60, with its Personal Computer Kit dropping to $80.
