Raspberry Pi just announced the Pi 500+
It has a quad-core CPU, 16 GB of RAM, 256 GB SSD (built-in NVMe), and an RGB backlit mechanical keyboard (Gateron KS-33 blue switches).
Cost: $200.
First thing I did was yank the SSD out and replace it with an M.2 to OCuLink adapter, so I could game and local-LLM on the thing, using an AMD RX 7900 XT with 20 GB of GDDR6 VRAM.
...Then I swapped out the keycaps for two different sets, to see how that experience goes. The keys are ‘low profile’, and the keyboard feels great (though it makes clickety-clack sounds at around 60 dBA from a foot away).
