Raspberry Pi 500+ Benchmarks: Mechanical Keyboard Computer, 16GB RAM & NVMe SSD


Last year Raspberry Pi launched the Raspberry Pi 500 for taking their Raspberry Pi keyboard computer into the Raspberry Pi 5 world.

Today they are announcing the Raspberry Pi 500+ as an upgraded version of the device now with a mechanical keyboard, LED lighting, 16GB of RAM, and NVMe SSD storage. With today's launch of the Raspberry Pi 500+ it's now a much more capable device for daily use with a nicer mechanical keyboard, 16GB of RAM being much more appropriate as a minimum for today's computing environment, and NVMe SSD storage for better performance and longevity than microSD storage. I have been testing out the Raspberry Pi 500+ in a number of performance benchmarks the past few days and using the device to good success.
