I am hoping that there would be a real Desktop Raspberry Pi in the future. I know that the Raspberry Pi 400 exists, which was clearly aimed at that, but an SD Card as primary storage just ain't it. The Pi 5 supports NVMe, but needs an adapter.
I would like something that has NVMe and non-USB connected networking, with sufficient cooling, with a good keyboard. GPIO should still be exposed (like on the Pi 400). I don't expect a PCIe expansion slot, basically I just want a beefed up Pi 400 to be a true BBC Micro successor. (And for the love of all that's good and holy, proper HDMI ports. And a proper keyboard, not a laptop keyboard like on the Pi 400. Heck, steal the Amiga 600 design.)
- heresie-dabord 3y agoI use as a daily driver the R.Pi 400 booting from external NVMe. This is not difficult to configure. It's a delight to use.
- MenhirMike 3y agoYeah, it just kinda ruins the aesthetic of an all-in-one wedge if you need to connect an external drive, also I'd prefer it to not be USB (I assume you use an NVMe-to-USB chassis?). So I'd love to see that being done internally. Essentially a RPi 5 with an actual NVMe slot and full size HDMI, in a wedge chassis with a better keyboard.
