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 8GB RAM! 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!

Raspberry Pi 500 comes with a 32GB Raspberry Pi A2-Class Micro-SD card, the recommended SD card for all Raspberry Pi computers.

You will need to add your own 27W power supply, Micro-HDMI cable, mouse and monitor. The Raspberry Pi 500 has an RJ45 Ethernet port, so grab an Ethernet cable if you plan to hard-wire your internet/LAN connection.
