Raspberry Pi 500+ Premium Desktop Computers

Raspberry Pi 500+ Premium Desktop Computers are built into a high-quality mechanical keyboard. Powered by the same quad-core 64-bit Arm^® processor and RP1 I/O controller found in Raspberry Pi 5, these computers also integrate a one-piece aluminium heatsink for improved thermal performance. This ensures that the Raspberry Pi 500+ will run fast and smoothly even under heavy load, while delivering dual 4K display output.

Raspberry Pi 500+ features 16GB of LPDDR4X-4267 SDRAM to handle memory-intensive workloads, and a pre-installed 256GB Raspberry Pi SSD for high-speed I/O performance. Clicky Gateron KS-33 Blue mechanical keyboard switches are paired with ergonomic low-profile keycaps and individually addressable RGB LEDs. Tools are included for opening the case to replace the SSD and for swapping out the default keycaps.

For the complete Raspberry Pi 500+ setup, the Raspberry Pi 500+ Desktop Kit comes with a mouse, a USB Type-C^® power supply, and an HDMI cable. The Official Raspberry Pi Beginner’s Guide is also included.
