rPi 4 inside a keyboard!

[fox]

Take a look at this article. This is about the rPi4 in a new form factor - inside of a keyboard! It apparently has better cooling than the original and is still expandable with a GPIO header, though how the latter would work without interfering with keyboard function isn't clear to me. What do you guys think? Would this be a better buy than a rPi4 in its regular form? The price certainly seems reasonable.

Yes, I saw an article about that.  $135 CDN at buyapi.ca for 4G ram memory,  https://www.buyapi.ca/product/raspberry-pi-400-complete-kit/  (pre-orders only, at this time)

This kit includes the power supply and a mouse.

Seems like a pretty good price, compared to what they were selling the standard 4G ram Pi4 kit, for. Apparently there is no audio out jack??  That's a bummer!

You would also probably have to add the cost of a monitor, to wind up with a stand alone computer.

Maybe in the future of Pi this will be the standard. Looks cool. Has to be some way to get sound. Anyone go to the home page if there is one?
This page says you can listen to music and there is a picture of a sound jack.

There would be sound through the hdmi connector, but your monitor would need to have built in speakers.
