    November 13, 2020 at 11:17 pm

    Camera work needs work. Maybe it can linger longer on the relevant features rather than try to be an exciting shaky camera dizzying commercial. And maybe a closer camera highlight of product in hand.

    • iyaz akhtar

      November 14, 2020 at 12:57 am

      @yeet YuuY? Yes, my monitor is to the right. That’s how I can see what I’m doing since I’m shooting most of this by myself

    The issue with the audio selection is a perfect example why people shouldn’t bad mouth Microsoft. 99% of the world does not know how to build and maintain a complex OS that services millions HW/SW variations.

    Interesting how that keyboard is called raspberry pi 🤔

  27. Tango Cash

    November 14, 2020 at 5:31 am

    Raspberry Pi is a learning platform in my son’s school and they use it from grade four to nine. It is great because they use it for different projects and in five years they have had chance to see that computers are not just for gaming. This year when the kids have online school RP become their playground.

      The current build is 64, as is the Ubuntu release

      Make it run a stepper motor, then come back.

    but i keep the problem regarding the raspberry pie is that it shuts down automatically in the middle of typing codes or running them and also i was not doing multi tasking then!!!

    • Roger O'Donnell

      November 14, 2020 at 9:59 am

      No… it doesn’t.

      I have a computer that’s a keyboard from the same era – TI-99/4a

  35. Terry

    November 14, 2020 at 8:37 am

    I thought it would look cooler if it had zx spectrum like red and white strips down the bottom right of the the keyboard like the spectrum did. I mean this is a UK micro computer right?

  36. Tori G

    November 14, 2020 at 8:43 am

    $100 + monitor right? pretty much price of cheap laptop on Black friday… and it’s def. not for most people… unless they improve performance or drop price to $50 they Won’t be able to compete in the current market

    • Roger O'Donnell

      November 14, 2020 at 10:01 am

      You can hook it to a TV you already own.

    • indrajitg

      November 15, 2020 at 12:49 am

      Can’t compete in the current market? Seriously? They built hundreds of thousand of these units for the first lot and almost everything is sold out! Besides, how do you explain the bill of materials for such a product at $50?

    • Robert Bray

      November 15, 2020 at 1:20 am

      You say it’s not for most people like the other Pi releases have been designed for your typical grandparents or people who are just after a random computer.

      They know their target audience.

  37. TechMishMosh Adeel

    November 14, 2020 at 9:33 am

    Superb !!

  38. Alex Mercer

    November 14, 2020 at 10:01 am

    They could create a lightweight laptop, using the same specs.
    It should be so lightweight, very easy to use and highly affordable.

    • Ashmith Skonda

      November 15, 2020 at 5:40 am

      Just add a monitor with a mobile’s speaker

    • Alex Mercer

      November 15, 2020 at 6:17 am

      @Ashmith Skonda The keyboard is thick, A monitor would be thicker, A laptop combining these should make for a great thin usable pc.

    Seems to have completely ignored the inclusion of the full GPIO header. Maybe the reviewer didn’t know what it’s for.

    • iyaz akhtar

      November 15, 2020 at 2:35 am

      I mentioned that in other takes. Must have forgotten to mention it in this one. Thanks, though!

  40. EgoSumLux MVPFTW

    November 14, 2020 at 10:53 am

    why did they bundle it with a charger and mouse??

    • Robert Bray

      November 15, 2020 at 1:16 am

      So that people could run it and make the cursor move…

    • Nathan Lee

      November 15, 2020 at 11:24 pm

      That’s kinda the point of the design I’m pretty sure: lot of people will be running retropie to run emulators for the different old school computers.

    Isn’t it just a laptop without the display

    • indrajitg

      November 15, 2020 at 2:13 am

      … and without the battery! It is more of a desk computer than a mobile device.

    • Zz.zZ

      November 16, 2020 at 3:17 pm

      If you want to, you can buy a portable display and a portable charger. It’s biggest selling point is the price, it’s really cheap. People put them into robots and drones and other projects because of how cheap it is. You can even plug it into a dumb TV and now it’s a smart TV. It’s up to you to choose how you want to use it.

      Not HDD. MicroSD. You can attach portable HDD, Flashdrive, or SSD via USB port.

  50. Robert Bray

    November 15, 2020 at 1:11 am

    Grabbed two. They were wonderful. Only small downside was the distributor sent us AZERTY ones.

    And now waiting another month for replacements to be available.

  51. jedi knight

    overclock it 2.2 works a lot better.

  54. Gary Korzelius

    November 15, 2020 at 4:07 pm

    Nice little machine. One hint though, you. Might want to move your screen or monitor around in front of you a bit so you can stop looking to your right every time to see if your in frame.

      I’m both keen and a little afraid to see you try.

      It might blow up

    • simpletongeek

      November 17, 2020 at 10:23 am

      Yes, it can. Oh, you don’t mean the DOS version via emulator? You want the 2020 version? I don’t think it can.

  56. Mark McCoskey

    November 15, 2020 at 4:41 pm

    I have one coming. This’ll be my first Raspberry Pi. Will attach it to my TV. I can see this form factor becoming the default computer for the masses, especially in the years to come. Add enough CPU power to stream 4K, and the majority will be quite happy. And the price. 👍

  57. William Topping

    November 16, 2020 at 1:32 am

    Not a fan of what? Not knowing where stuff is and claiming it’s ‘simple’ makes you simple. It’s a different OS, but then this is cnet. No matter how many times unsubscribe from you mailing lists, you still spam me. Gmail automatically puts your stuff in spam.

  58. Bernard Carll

    What are you saying? the Keyboard is the computer?

  59. Omni Art

    November 16, 2020 at 3:35 am

    You had audio issues because Linux used ALSA drivers, that can use one audio source from software to one audio out e.g. wired out or BT…. Its because its a Debian distro… However if you use Ubuntu Linux on it it can do multiple audio outs….

  60. Bruce Gamble

    This keyboard is tough, rugged,and awesome

  61. NMEofdaST8

    Pretty cool but I don’t have a use case for it

  62. Jim Bates

    November 16, 2020 at 12:58 pm

    I got an old ChromeBook for cheap and hated when it updated OS and then couldn’t access local file system(drive). One thing I’ve heard about using mini-chip for unique OS load. Wifi for multi-device recognition would be interesting. USB too. Can you possibly daisy-chain ethernet link for local group of computers? Too many possibilities, and all for $100 USD. That’s a wow!

  63. elck3

    November 16, 2020 at 3:36 pm

    Wow $70 is incredible. I am super down with this and will be buying I think

  64. Lori Duncan

    November 16, 2020 at 8:29 pm

    Anyway dogs: get the stepping. Economic: $30 computer terminals are Raspberry Zero pi BID….( unfortunately we think were chief Duncan! Its not payable). God’s Gift: Ishamel 🎄 $50 a bridge not a seat! It stands! An officer…

  65. Sat Sai

    November 17, 2020 at 4:07 pm

    Add this OS to a monitor and sell for 150 or so.. we can avoid all sorts of wires/cables etc…. just like simple version of AIO (all in one desktop)..
