SPIDER Automation Raspberry Pi 500 Personal Computer Keyboard | Quad-Core 2.4GHz, 8GB RAM (US Unit)
Description
SPIDER Automation Raspberry Pi 500 builds directly on the monumental success of the Pi 400, uniting the cutting-edge performance of the Raspberry Pi 5 platform with the ultimate convenience of a fully integrated desktop keyboard. Driven by a powerful 2.4GHz quad-core 64-bit ARM Cortex-A76 processor and supported by an integrated one-piece aluminum heatsink for exceptional thermal management, the Pi 500 runs fast, cool, and smooth even under heavy workloads.
Complete with 8GB of high-speed LPDDR4X-4267 SDRAM and a preinstalled 32GB microSD card loaded with Raspberry Pi OS, this system is ready for immediate productivity, coding, web browsing, and media creation. It features a dedicated physical power button, enhanced security via a built-in Kensington lock slot, dual micro-HDMI ports capable of driving dual 4K displays at 60Hz, high-speed USB 3.0 ports, Gigabit Ethernet, and a horizontal 40-pin GPIO header for hardware experimentation.
