Raspberry Pi 500 keyboard PC launched together with 15.6-inch Raspberry Pi Monitor - CNX Software
The Raspberry Pi 500 keyboard PC is now available with the guts of a Raspberry Pi 5 including a Broadcom BCM2712 quad-core Cortex-A76 SoC, 8GB LPDDR4x and a 32GB microSD pre-loaded with Raspberry Pi OS.
But the company also took the opportunity to launch the 15.6-inch Raspberry Pi Monitor that was first showcased at Embedded World 2024. That means Raspberry Pi launched 22 products this year including kits, and we’re promised that would be the last launch for 2024! But Pi fans can expect a small surprise in the first half of January…

I’ve had time to play with both, so in this review, I’ll go through an unboxing of the kit I received and report my experience with both the keyboard PC and monitor.

PC World ☛ Raspberry Pi's new keyboard PC and USB monitor are on sale now
The Raspberry Pi 400 was a hit when it came out in 2020, harkening back to the days when people would stuff a whole computer under the gigantic keys of an old-fashioned keyboard. If you love that form factor but need something a little more beefy, the new Raspberry Pi 500 is here with the same design but upgraded Pi 5 guts.

Jeff Geerling ☛ The Pi 500 is much faster, but lacks M.2
Externally, at least on the rear, the ports are identical—save for the USB ports on the Pi 500 having independent USB 3.0 buses (for 2x5 Gbps, instead of a shared 5 Gbps of bandwidth). The layout is changed, but external I/O is the same (the Pi 400 is the red and white model in the picture above).

Tom's Hardware ☛ Raspberry Pi Monitor Review: Well-built portable monitor that works with any HDMI-capable device
Though the $100 Raspberry Pi Monitor is built to work with Raspberry Pi computers, it uses a standard-size HDMI port to get video input so it can work with just about any type of device, including a laptop, a desktop or game console.
