Introducing the Raspberry Pi 500: Premium Performance Tailored for Australian Innovators
The Raspberry Pi 500 is a powerful, all-in-one computing solution, designed for makers, educators, and tech enthusiasts across Australia.
Powered by the advanced quad-core 64-bit Arm Cortex-A76 processor and equipped with the RP1 I/O controller, it handles the most challenging local development and maker projects with ease.
With its integrated aluminium heatsink, this robust machine ensures consistent and reliable performance, even in the demanding Australian climate.
A Versatile Computing Powerhouse
Pre-configured for Raspberry Pi OS, the Raspberry Pi 500 offers a comprehensive desktop experience that supports everything from development to making and everyday computing tasks.
With production guaranteed until January 2034, the Raspberry Pi 500 promises long-term value, making it the ideal choice for Australian tech enthusiasts, creators, and professionals who seek performance at a budget-friendly price.
The new Raspberry Pi 500 takes the best aspects of the Pi 400 and elevates the experience with exciting upgrades. It’s powered by the Pi 5’s CPU and comes equipped with 8GB of RAM, ensuring top-tier performance.
Additionally, the Pi 500 is driven by the RP2040, which handles all the keyboard interactions. A standout feature is the dedicated power button, adding a practical touch to its design.
