Description
Raspberry Pi 500 is a fast, powerful computer built into a high-quality keyboard, for the ultimate compact PC experience.
It features the same quad-core 64-bit Arm processor and RP1 I/O controller found in Raspberry Pi 5, and 8GB RAM! With a one-piece aluminium heatsink built-in for improved thermal performance, your Raspberry Pi 500 will run fast and smoothly even under heavy load, while delivering glorious dual 4K display output.
Technical specifications aside, a few subtle changes have been made compared to Raspberry Pi 400 - such as the repositioned USB ports and new power button functionality which works the same as the Raspberry Pi 5 button. It's now also all-white - which we think looks dead smart!
