Description
The Raspberry Pi 500 Desktop Kit includes a Raspberry Pi 500 unit, bundled with official Raspberry Pi accessories to get you started:
- A 32GB A2-class Raspberry Pi Micro-SD card (with RPi OS pre-installed)
- Official Raspberry Pi Mouse (white)
- A 27W USB-C power supply
- A Micro-HDMI cable,
- Official Raspberry Pi Beginner’s Guide Book
All you need to add is an HDMI monitor, such as the 15.6" Raspberry Pi Monitor. If you're looking for something larger, we also stock a 21" traditional full-HD monitor.
Don't forget, the Raspberry Pi 500 also has an RJ45 Ethernet port, so grab an Ethernet cable if you plan to hard-wire your internet/LAN connection instead of using the onboard WiFi.
About Raspberry Pi 500
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!
