Awesome little unit
Awesome little unit. Matches nicely with the Pi monitor.

Reviews of Raspberry Pi 500+
rpi500+
The rpi500+ is a great unit, but admittedly it is expensive for what it is. People buying it should be well informed of what it is and isn't before purchasing to avoid disappointment. It has a good amount of ram (16gb) and quick storage with a real ssd and a mechanical keyboard with gpio that uses low power. What it isn't is a mini pc in terms of cpu or video performance. Don't expect it to be running the full kde/gnome without it being very slow. (The mouse is even a bit laggy at 4k in pixel). I freshly installed the new raspberry pi os 64 bit based on trixie and it seems a lot quicker in the desktop than the bookworm it come with, so my recommendation is to reinstall immediately if you get bookworm on it. If you want an all in one linux pc that you don't need to bring a keyboard along its a great unit. For me its a perfect dev box for all my micro controller projects.

Great little pc, awesome compact keyboard. Great tactile keys, not too noisy.
