Just in time for the holiday season, Raspberry Pi have launched two new bits of hardware for you to tinker with the Raspberry Pi 500 and an official Raspberry Pi Monitor.
The Raspberry Pi 500 is a refresh of their popular all-in-one PC, the Raspberry Pi 400, now powered by the Raspberry Pi 5. The official specs:
- 2.4GHz quad-core 64-bit Arm Cortex-A76 processor
- 8GB LPDDR4X-4267 SDRAM
- VideoCore VII GPU, supporting OpenGL ES 3.1 and Vulkan 1.3
- Dual 4Kp60 HDMI® display output
- Dual-band 802.11ac Wi-Fi® and Bluetooth 5.0
- 2 × USB 3.0 ports, supporting simultaneous 5Gbps operation
- 1 × USB 2.0 port
- Gigabit Ethernet port
- Horizontal 40-pin Raspberry Pi GPIO connector
You also get an official 32GB Micro-SD card bundled with it.
Really brings back some memories of one of my first loves, the Amiga!
As for the Raspberry Pi Monitor it’s a ‘15.6″ full HD IPS panel with a 45% colour gamut and an 80° viewing angle’. You get a pair of 1.2W speakers, a fold-away stand, VESA mounting points and power via USB-C. It can be powered directly by a Raspberry Pi too, although brightness gets limited to 60% and volume to 50%.
With these launched, they’ve also now reduced the price on the Raspberry Pi 400 from $70 to $60, and the Raspberry Pi 400 Personal Computer Kit from $100 to $80. They’re also now bundling a Micro-SD card with the Raspberry Pi 400.
