- Is the Raspberry Pi 500 a full computer?
- Yes. The board is built into the keyboard, so you only add a monitor, mouse and USB-C power supply. It runs Raspberry Pi OS and other Linux systems.
- How is it different from the Raspberry Pi 400?
- The Pi 500 has 8GB of RAM instead of 4GB and a faster processor. The layout is the same keyboard design, so it is a drop-in upgrade for the same kind of desk setup.
- What do I need to buy with it?
- A USB-C power supply, a mouse and a monitor with an HDMI cable. A microSD card with an operating system is also needed unless one is included.
- Can it run Windows?
- Not natively. It runs Linux, and Windows software generally needs an emulator or a remote desktop connection, which is slow for heavy programs.
- Does it have Wi-Fi and Bluetooth?
- Yes. It has built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.0, so you can connect a wireless mouse and keyboard or go online without extra adapters.
- What is the RAM and storage?
- It has 8GB of LPDDR4 memory. Storage is on a microSD card, which you supply.
