"First, the RAM is up to 16GB of LPDDR4X-4267 SDRAM. As someone who grabbed a handful of units with 16GB of RAM when they were released back in January, I can honestly say that the power and versatility this amount of RAM offers is worth the money, and I can understand why it was chosen for the 500+. Whether you're building a system to handle AI workloads or run a browser with loads of tabs open, this is what you need."
"Another upgrade for the 500+ is an M.2 drive. The 500 didn't have a slot for this, but the 500+ does, and it's been kitted out with a 256GB Raspberry Pi SSD. And if you ever outgrow that capacity, the drive can be swapped at a later date for any 2280 M.2 drive. Also: I built my own AirTag-like tracker with this Raspberry Pi alternative - how it works"
The Raspberry Pi 500+ is an all-in-one system based on the Raspberry Pi 5 platform with a 2.4GHz quad-core Arm Cortex-A76 CPU, dual 4K display outputs, and dual-band Wi‑Fi. RAM has been increased up to 16GB of LPDDR4X-4267 SDRAM to better support AI workloads, heavy multitasking, and memory-intensive browsing. The system now includes a user-replaceable 256GB 2280 M.2 SSD, allowing later upgrades. The keyboard features mechanical Gateron KS-33 Blue switches with custom RAL 7001 stems, plus RGB lighting and hot-swap key capability for customization and repair.
