Product Overview
The Raspberry Pi 500 puts the power of Raspberry Pi 5 — a 2.4 GHz quad-core Arm Cortex-A76 and 8GB of RAM — inside a compact keyboard, with passive aluminium cooling so it stays quiet under load.
It drives two 4K displays, has Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Gigabit Ethernet and three USB ports, and keeps the 40-pin GPIO header for electronics projects. This kit includes everything needed to get started.
