The Raspberry Pi 500 Desktop Kit includes a Raspberry Pi 500 unit, bundled with official Raspberry Pi accessories to get you started:

• A 32GB A2-class Raspberry Pi Micro-SD card (with RPi OS pre-installed)
• Official Raspberry Pi Mouse (white)
• A 27W USB-C power supply
• A Micro-HDMI cable,
• Official Raspberry Pi Beginners GuideBook

All you need to add is an HDMI monitor, such as the 15.6″ Raspberry Pi Monitor. If you’re looking for something larger, we also stock a 21″ traditional full-HD monitor.

Don’t forget, the Raspberry Pi 500 also has an RJ45 Ethernet port, sograb an Ethernet cable if you plan to hard-wire your internet/LAN connection instead of using the onboard WiFi.

About Raspberry Pi 500

Raspberry Pi 500 is a fast, powerful computer built into a high-quality keyboard, for the ultimate compact PC experience.

It features the same quad-core 64-bit Arm processor and RP1 I/O controller found in Raspberry Pi 5, and 8GBRAM! With a one-piece aluminium heatsink built-in for improved thermal performance, your Raspberry Pi 500 will run fast and smoothly even under heavy load, while delivering glorious dual 4K display output.

Technical specifications aside, a few subtle changes have been made compared to Raspberry Pi 400 – such as the repositioned USB ports and new power button functionality which works the same as the Raspberry Pi 5 button. It’s now also all-white – which we think looks dead smart!

Important Notes

• Raspberry Pi 500+ is longer and taller than the original Raspberry Pi 500.
  • Most existing protective sleeves designed for Pi400/500 will not fit.
• Clicky mechanical keyboard – some love the sound and feel, some hate it!
  • Not for you? Consider a Raspberry Pi 500 Desktop Kitinstead.
