for the rest, excellent article, wielen danke!

Furthermore, there are many new variations of the Raspberry Pi 400, as it has to have the keyboard in many local languages. Having additional sets of color options would make this even more difficult for everyone concerned with manufacturing and distribution”

but also

“#16 The keyboard lid of the Raspberry Pi 400 is the same as the official Raspberry Pi keyboard
#17 … therefore you can switch the keyboard!”

Lol yes.

Sorry but they wasted a great opportunity…

It’s been now over a year and I stop believing the alternative color will still come.

This is a comparison of the DMIPS benchmark. The C64 has 0.424 DMIPS, while the Pi 400 is capable of 182880 DMIPS, giving a multiplier of 430000x.

I agree, a 3.5mm mini Jack is also what I look for in smartphones. Luckily a USB audio adapter is extremely cheap – likely below 5 $ extra cost, so whoever requires audio output can simply add such an adapter.

For projects possibly the Pi 400 is not the best choice – I would continue to go with Pi 4, etc.

Note that the Pi Zero W also doesn’t include an audio port.
