Raspberry Pi 500+ Unit EN-Layout

The Raspberry Pi 500+ is a powerful and compact premium computer that is integrated into a high-quality mechanical keyboard, offering an ultimate PC experience. Powered by the fast 2.4 GHz Quad-Core 64-Bit Arm Cortex-A76 processor and the RP1 I/O controller of the Raspberry Pi 5, this all-in-one system delivers impressive performance for demanding applications. An integrated aluminum heatsink ensures efficient heat dissipation, allowing the Raspberry Pi 500+ to run smoothly even under high loads, while supporting dual 4K display output. With 16 GB of LPDDR4X RAM, the system handles memory-intensive workloads effortlessly, while the pre-installed 256 GB Raspberry Pi SSD enables lightning-fast operating system booting and swift data transfers. The integrated mechanical keyboard uses high-quality Gateron KS-33 Blue Low-Profile switches, providing a tactile, clicky typing experience and high precision. Each key is backlit with individually controllable RGB LEDs, allowing users to choose from preset lighting patterns or program their own color schemes to visually tailor the computer to personal taste. For easy expansion, the pre-installed SSD can be swapped out with the supplied tool or replaced with a larger M.2 NVMe SSD (up to 2280 format). Additionally, a microSD card slot is available to accommodate alternative operating systems or additional data storage. For state-of-the-art connectivity, dual-band WLAN (802.11ac), Bluetooth 5.0 BLE, and Gigabit Ethernet are already integrated. Moreover, the Raspberry Pi 500+ offers three USB ports (2× USB 3.0, 1× USB 2.0) for peripherals, as well as a horizontal 40-pin GPIO header for hardware expansion in projects. Two micro-HDMI ports support dual-monitor operation with up to 4Kp60 – ideal for productive work or multimedia playback in Ultra-HD. This versatile compact system is suitable as a full-fledged desktop replacement and as a powerful platform for maker projects, education, and many other applications.
