Absolutely wonderful! This is getting ever more close to the joy of the original home computers, and a great setup for a kid to start with especially with the book provided. The RPi4 is also an impressive bit of kit. Bravo RPi foundation!

Rubbish. They do. My daughter's school has a pile of knackered Pi's that the teachers don't have the time and budget to fix. Broken connectors, duff microSDs, bricks. They don't use them now, preferring python on windows.
sounds like people simply weren't taking any care of them, that's why they broke. If they had cases and decent sd cards that probably wouldn't have happened.
School computers take a beating. That's why the two are incompatible.

#103I can also see no reason why does it have to be this small (I would appreciate a keypad) and why is there still no heatsink.
I personally think this product looks awesome, maybe partly nostalgia.

#104Wow. This would work awesome for distributing Apps that require hardware, for example Point of Sale Systems.

#105Missed opportunity to use the Compute Module 4 and full-size HDMI ports.

#106Why isn't it just a CM plugged into the bottom of the keyboard circuit board for upgradability... it doesn't bode well that Rasberry Pi's own products aren't using the weird connecter the CM has.
If you want to upgrade you might as well just buy a regular RPi4 and plug in your own keyboard.

#107This is so good, I work from home and I've been eyeballing products like this for a while but until now its all been 3rd party. What would really take the cake for me is if they made a version of this but with a battery and wireless charging, then this really would be an exceptional portable desktop pc.

Yes the form factor reminds me of my first computer, a Commodore 64.

And boot time? ;)
RISCOS boots really fast.
