Great write up, thank you. I'm keen to see how it lasts heat-wise, over the. My 4b is awful sensitive to heatsink design/fit. In the end, it's not a massive difference, but it is a noticeable speed bump for many operations, and can even help make IO faster, for example if copying large files over the network to a fast USB 3.0 drive.

Great review!! Could you also test the temperature under heavy load condition for longer time? Thanks! Now, with the heat sink out of the way, you can see the Pi 400 is a completely different design than the Pi 4 model B and Compute Module 4, even though much of the circuitry is similar if not identical: BBC micro:bit V2 GO Starter Kit Everything you need to start using the micro:bit - includes a micro:bit V2! Not that you need convincing, but here are some of the unique features of the Raspberry Pi 400 that you need in your life: It’s a PC in a keyboardIt’s also a very good choice if you have to set up a second home office or sort out a dedicated homework/online learning computer for the kids, both rather common needs in recent months. Catering to this need is one of the Raspberry Pi Foundation’s stated goals for this system, and it meets it admirably. Looks like there may be some room if you trim away the heatsink in the quarter where the keyboard ribbon plugs in, but perhaps the better bet is on the outside of the case under the flat keyboard area (where it rises above the desk). It pretty much is already modular; they all have the same system board, so the rest is just the keyboard and plastic case.

The two micro-HDMI ports have support for up to 4Kp60, allowing you to enjoy a twin monitor, high resolution, setup. No more window dancing as you work! You can also watch your favourite movies in a crisp 4K resolution on a large monitor.

Thank you for such a great review. My 12 yr old son wants to get into programming and hosting a server. Can this do that? It seems nice to already have a keyboard so I was thinking this might be better than the standalone Raspberry Pi 4. The Raspberry Pi 400 is a convenient all-in-one computer that’s super easy to set up, and feels that bit more robust and easy to use than its predecessors. You get Gigabit Ethernet, USB and two USB3 ports, two mini HDMI outputs and a microSD card slot. There’s USB-C for delivering power, too. Both HDMI ports support 4K displays, although you can only run a single display at 60Hz; if you connect two displays, they both run at 30Hz. This listing is for the Raspberry Pi 400 standalone keyboard. A kit is also available which includes everything you need in one box (minus a monitor).

Looking more closely at the rear, though, you can see it uses the same PCB antenna for WiFi as found on other WiFi-enabled Pis, and from my experience testing the CM4, it's a pretty decent little antenna for having no external components!
