How popular is the Pi400 – looks a bit like A3000 etc. Do any of the Acorn / RO dealers sell it? |

I can not recommend the Pi400, because the micro-sd reader is of very bad quality. I had to replace mine allready twice, because the SD card reader did nod hold the card anymore. I recommend rather a Pi4. |

I really like mine, I have an early one and didn’t have any trouble with RISC OS and its LAN interface. I have not tried it on wifi nor had any trouble with the sd card, but that said I have probably never taken the card out. The one problem I have is that I cracked the video port off the board a little and some days have to jiggle the cable to get a picture. I was not looking forward to the day when I have to fix that but I just noticed now that it has two HDMI ports, so swapping to the other might be the easier fix. Mine is ‘at work’ and I probably use it 2-3 hours a day, an iMac most of rest of the time. If you don’t need hats and stuff then the pi400 is neat small footprint solution. I probably have a dozen of the other sorts too so it didn’t really minimise the mess on my desk much. |
