The Raspberry Pi 500 Desktop offers a compact PC experience with its powerful quad-core 64-bit Arm processor and RP1 I/O controller. Its one-piece aluminium heatsink provides improved thermal performance to ensure smooth and fast operation, even under heavy workload. Additionally, enjoy glorious dual 4K display output just like the Raspberry Pi 5.
Normally you'd need to pick up a keyboard and other accessories to turn the Pi 5 into a functioning desktop - but since most keyboards have empty space in them, you can just cram the Pi 5 inside to make an all-in-one kit. Think of it like a modern Apple IIe, but super light and powerful.
There's 3 USB ports, for adding USB mice, disk drives, or really any accessories that work with Linux. For video output, two HDMI ports can drive driving up to two monitors of any resolution up to 4k! There's built in Bluetooth and WiFi for internet connectivity, or plug in an Ethernet cable for fast wired networking.
Hackers can rejoice - you still get the classic 2x20 IDC port that can be used to connect to a breadboard or HAT/PHat/Bonnet. To connect to a breadboard for wiring up buttons and LED, use our T-Cobbler! To connect to a Bonnet/HAT, we recommend a 2x20 IDC cable + Mini HAT Hacker (the cable plugs in at the top of the HAT hacker, giving you two spots for accessory HATs. Or our CYBERDECK Hat which has a nice angled connector to create a pop-up display
