Featuring a quad-core 64-bit processor, 4GB of RAM, wireless networking, dual-display output, and 4K video playback, as well as a 40-pin GPIO header, Raspberry Pi 400 is a powerful, easy-to-use computer built into a neat and portable keyboard.
Aside from a great product - let's all appreciate the wonderfully refreshing video as well. No obnoxious music, people yelling at me, or outrageous CTAs. Love it.

@pfordmedia exactly! less noise with more focus on message
I expect you were anticipating some git to ask this; any plans on doing this with the 8GB Rpi?

You have my vote! Could the RAM be upgraded?

It's a really great product, I was lucky enough to get a pre-release unit to test it would work out of the box with Ubuntu. It's a treat.

I'm a huge fan of the Raspberry Pi 4, I'm a huge fan of everything the Raspberry Pi foundation does. I use Raspberry Pis every single day and I have no shortage of fun projects at any given point in time.
This is meant to be a Linux desktop. $70 for a Linux desktop is actually a great price however, I couldn't be more disappointed that you're forced into 4 gigs of RAM which is less than favorable for any desktop environment in 2020, even a lightweight Linux distro.
Raspberry Pi lives in this strange place between a single board computer like the Jetson nano and a traditional laptop or PC running a Debian based Linux distro because Raspberry Pi OS has been repeatedly marketed and optimized to use as a desktop. Raspberry Pi OS is one of my least favorite distros but I deal with it for convenience.
I've heard that there's going to be an Ubuntu distro that the Raspberry Pi will treat as a first-class citizen. Once that is the case, I see little need to use Raspberry Pi OS and I imagine it will become more of an education distro. I want this thing so bad but I'm not going to purchase it until an 8 gig model is released.
Am I overreacting here? I can't imagine I'm the only person who's a bit perplexed that this was released with 4 gigs of RAM when Even the Raspberry Pi 4 compute module comes in 8 gigs of RAM now.
