History Repeats

Back in the 1980s, all home computers looked like this.

There were no mice.

The Raspberry Pi 400 Personal Computer Kit is the exact same thing, only built for the modern day.

Its a thick QWERTY keyboard with the computer underneath, and an array of ports on the back.

It comes in two versions.

The Pi 400 doesnt run Windows.

But its real heart is education and exploration.

Apart from the form-factor, this focus on education is the greatest parallel with those old 1980s computers.

In the UK, theBBC Microwas found in around 80% of schools.

The Pi 400 is another great educational machine.

Not only is it cheap, but it’s designed to help kids focus.

Its perfect for hobby projects that need a computer to run them.

It can be a simple writing machine for authors.

And if you like Raspberry Pi OS, it could indeed be your main computer.
