Am I the only one disappointed to discover that it has a custom all in one PCB instead of being based on the compute module interfaces?

- geerlingguy 6y agoThis was addressed in the post: "Some folks have asked us why we did not fit the Raspberry Pi Compute Module inside. The reason is that above a certain scale, it generally makes more sense to go with a custom PCB rather than a module with a carrier board. With hundreds of thousands of Raspberry Pi 400 units in the first instance, we are above that scale."
- pkaye 6y agoWhat is the benefit of a compute module interface for this product? You will need a second PCB and additional connector which adds cost.
- alexland 6y agoThe keyboard (and ports) will probably hold up a lot longer than the compute power of the Pi 4, so being able to swap out the internals without throwing away the perfectly good chassis would be a nice win for e-waste.
