The Raspberry Pi 500 is an enhanced version of the Raspberry Pi 400, featuring the powerful Raspberry Pi 5 in a convenient keyboard form factor. It offers excellent thermal performance, a seamless overclock to 3 GHz, and enhanced computing power. However, GPIO access is awkward, and there is no NVMe storage or camera connections.
