ETA Prime took a look at the Raspberry Pi 800 - specs, breakdown, first looks. Like the Raspberry Pi 400, it's a all-in-one computer, mostly. You still have to provide the display. But all the tech is built inside the keyboard. I really wanted a Pi 400, now I want one of these instead. I prefer the old colour but the new colour does reflect my political persuasions better.

Thanks for the Link to the review Jason.
You may want to edit the title of this posting. The computer is a Pi 800 and not a Raspberry Pi.
Since it has 4 GB of Ram, the manufacturer Orange Pi, should have called it a Pi 400, I would have thought.

Thank you, Bill. Corrected now. The Pi 400 was the earlier model. I'm thinking the Pi 400 was based on the Raspberry Pi 4 chipset and then they just wanted to double it. I'm not sure of the nomenclature reasoning. Perhaps the Pi 400 had 2 regular cores (and 2 graphical) and the newer version has 4 regular cores (and 2 for graphics).
