  • Raspberry Pi releases new keyboard PC
  • Inspired by 80s Tandy 1000 PC
  • Raspberry Pi 500 is less than $100

The Raspberry Pi is already well-known for pushing the envelope in what makes a tiny and affordable computer. Now the manufacturer is reinventing itself again with the Raspberry Pi 500, an entire PC fitted into a keyboard that’s available now for purchase. Such an exciting and new idea right? It certainly is, though it’s not the first time this concept has been brought to fruition.

In 1984, 40 years ago, the Tandy 1000 was released by Tandy Corporation and based on IBM’s PCjr, which essentially fit most of the computer parts into the keyboard. The Tandy 1000 was successful in the consumer electronics market and spawned countless models until its eventual discontinuation in 1993.
