Orange Pi 800 Keyboard PC — A Rockchip RK3399-based Raspberry Pi 400 replacement.

The Orange Pi 800 Keyboard PC is a Raspberry Pi 400 alternative that has a very similar design but is powered by a Rockchip RK3399 Hexa-core Cortex-A72/A53 CPU.

The Orange Pi 800 has 4GB of RAM, Gigabit Ethernet, dual-band WiFi 5 and Bluetooth 5.0, two USB 3.0 ports, and one USB 2.0 port, just like the Raspberry Pi model, but it also has 64GB of onboard flash storage and one full-size HDMI port capable of 4Kp60 resolution plus a VGA port, rather than two micro HDMI ports.

Orange Pi 800 specifications:

• SoC – Rockchip RK3399 hexa-core big.LITTLE processor with 2x Arm Cortex-A72 cores up to 1.8GHz, 4x Arm Cortex-A53 cores up to 1.4GHz, and an Arm Mali-T860MP4 GPU
• System Memory – 4GB LPDDR4
• Storage – 64GB eMMC flash, microSD card slot
• Video Output
• HDMI 2.0 port up to 4Kp60
• VGA port up to Full HD resolution
• Audio
• 3.5mm audio (headphone+mic) jack
• Integrated speaker(s) and microphone
• Digital audio via HDMI
• Networking
• 1x Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 port
• Dual-band 802.11b/g/n/ac WiFi 5 and Bluetooth 5.0 LE
• Keyboard – 78-key QWERTY Keyboard
• USB – 2x USB 3.0 ports, 1x USB 2.0 port
• Expansion – 26-pin GPIO header
• Power Supply – 5V via Type-C port
• Dimensions – 286 x 122 x 22mm
• Weight – 385 grams

 The Orange Pi 800 will come pre-installed with Chromium OS with Scratch and Python tools, emphasizing the product's educational purpose. According to reports, the business is working on its own operating system as well as "Orange Pi OS," a lightweight operating system based on Arch Linux (Arm) that will handle all Orange Pi devices, including the Orange Pi 800.

It's not yet ready for download, but the Orange Pi website has a few additional details. I suppose it's wonderful news, but I'm surprised they didn't go with a Debian or Ubuntu-based system, especially given Armbian currently supports a number of boards.

As of now, we don't know the pricing or availability of the new keyboard computer because I just discovered it on the company's website. I'd anticipate a debut in the next days or weeks, and the Orange Pi 800 would have to compete on pricing with the Raspberry Pi 400, which was originally priced at $70 but is now almost exclusively marketed as part of a $100 package that includes a mouse, keyboard, connections, and programming book.
