The Raspberry Pi Foundation announced<\/a><\/em> today the launch of the Raspberry Pi 500 computer, powered by the Raspberry Pi 5 single-board computer, alongside the Raspberry Pi Monitor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Raspberry Pi 500 is the successor of the Raspberry Pi 400 model released four years ago, in November 2020 (yes, time does fly fast<\/em>), which was based on the Raspberry Pi 4 Model B<\/a><\/strong> SBC with 4 GB RAM. The new model is based on the latest Raspberry Pi 5<\/a><\/strong> SBC with 8GB RAM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As such, you get the same specs as the Raspberry Pi 5, including the 2.4GHz quad-core 64-bit Arm Cortex-A76 processor, the VideoCore VII GPU supporting OpenGL ES 3.1 and Vulkan 1.3, dual 4Kp60 HDMI display output, dual-band 802.11ac Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth 5.0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Connectivity-wise, Raspberry Pi 500 features a horizontal 40-pin Raspberry Pi GPIO connector, a Gigabit Ethernet port, two USB 3.0 ports that support simultaneous 5Gbps operation, as well as a single USB 2.0 port.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Compared to the Raspberry Pi 400 model, the Raspberry Pi 500 comes with goodies for an out-of-the-box computing experience, including a 32GB Raspberry Pi-branded SD card, a Raspberry Pi mouse, a Raspberry Pi 27W USB-C power supply, a micro HDMI to HDMI cable, and an official Raspberry Pi monitor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s right, the Raspberry Pi Foundation has developed its own monitor, designed to coordinate perfectly with the Raspberry Pi 500 or a cased Raspberry Pi 5. The Raspberry Pi Monitor features a 15.6-inch Full HD IPS panel with a 45% color gamut, an 80-degree viewing angle, and integrated 1.2W stereo speakers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Raspberry Pi Monitor can be powered directly from the Raspberry Pi computer via the included USB-A to USB-C cable, but the display brightness will be limited to 60 percent. For full brightness and volume ranges, you can use the official Raspberry Pi 15W USB-C power supply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Raspberry Pi 500 computer is available for purchase from your local retailer for $90 USD, which includes the computer and the 32GB Raspberry Pi-branded SD card. Or you can get the Desktop Kit at $120 USD, which also includes the mouse, power supply, and HDMI cable. The Raspberry Pi Monitor is sold at $100 USD.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
