Dec 04, 2020 ·  A Raspberry Pi in a Keyboard. Essentially a Raspberry Pi 4 inside a keyboard, the Pi 400 has a strong retro feel. While the PCB differs from the main Raspberry Pi 4, and the keyboard follows the design ethos of the official Pi 4 case, there is more going on here. 

At its heart is a Broadcom BCM2711 with a 64-bit quad-core Cortex-A72 (ARM v8) processor running at 1.5GHz. While the Pi 3 B+ was only available with 1GB RAM, the Pi 4 comes in three versions, with either 1GB, 2GB or 4GB of memory. We tested the 4GB version and it's important to bear in mind that the amount of RAM will affect what you can do with your computer. If your plans include audio or image editing, or creating a home entertainment system that can handle UltraHD video, you should definitely get the 4GB version. Less resource-hungry projects may have lower memory requirements. The Pi is now powered via USB C – or Power over Ethernet if you have the right kit – and finally has a pair of fast USB 3.0 ports, as well as a couple of standard USB 2.0 ports. There are also two micro HDMI ports and hardware video decoding support for resolutions of up to 4K at 60Hz.

Jun 15, 2021 ·  The Corsair One A200 is the latest tiny gaming PC from Corsair. 

Now I don’t need to go over the design because it’s exactly what it has been for the past few years. We have thick aluminium plates, triangular side ventilation, cool fins up top and bottom, and tasteful RGB strips that you should always set to one color if you have good taste. Because of the symmetrical design I can now position the system on my left side. I really was hoping to see an updated I/O at front though, one that included USB Type-C since most X570 ITX motherboards have an internal connector.
