Are people buying them and stripping them for the boards? I know the board is a different shape

  The Pi 400 is actually a completely unique PCB [1: scroll down a bit] so there's no "board" to jack from it. [1] https://www.jeffgeerling.com/blog/2020/raspberry-pi-400-teardown-and-review https://www.jeffgeerling.com/blog/2020/raspberry-pi-400-tear...

    It also has some interesting bottlenecks with regards to the video output under network load but better heat dispersion with higher overclocks because of the large metal mounting bracket it's touching.

      What kind of bottlenecks?

  I bought one for at-desk prototyping because it was more available than a Pi 4. I’ve also bought one to serve as a temporary Pi server. Unless you actually need the form factor, the 400 is a completely fine substitute.

    I'm pretty excited about the long form factor they have when you shuck them from the casing. The spread out nature of the board makes it appropriate for all kinds of things, like a home-made laptop or cyberdeck, or bicycle computer.
