For use as a simple desktop replacement and for educational purposes I would give the Pi 400 5 stars.
I would also give OKdo 5 stars. I purchased the Pi 400 without accessories. It arrived promptly. I had a few questions over options for sound, as it doesn't have a sound jack. I received great support and advice from OKdo Support Services and their technical people who wrote a detailed response. I was looking at the Pi 400 for use at a Code Club (children 9yrs +) and also for adults wanting a simple introduction to computing, as the start of a new hobby or to support a wider education in computing.
I am working on a demonstration project for our code club that utilises simple code and components used at the club. The idea is to bring simple components together to produce something quite complex and more relevant to the real world. The majority of the coding and the nerve center was to run on a Pi-Top. Once the Pi 400 arrived, I started to work on both the Pi 400 and Pi-Top with the aim of using either in the final solution. The Pi-top is more flexible but less powerful as it uses a Pi 3. The Pi 400 easily copes with the more complex Scratch 3 graphics, whilst a music video runs in the background. The project is based on Pi Scratch and MicroBit MakeCode, both simple for beginners to use. There is no problem creating and running the code with the Pi 400, whilst searching the internet, downloading graphics and running background music videos.
The project demonstrates how a Pi and MicroBits can be used together for education or a computer hobby. The theme is around earthquake rescue. The Pi is used for an initial graphical storyboard and a rescue control center. The control center is designed using Scratch. It monitors an external sensor board based on a MicroBit that covers vibration, movement, sound and weight/pressure. This uses a simple MicroBit Boson breakout board. The major use of the Scratch control center is to control a Rescue Robot. The robot has a base with 2 continuous servos, line following capability, and neo pixels and a buzzer for alarms. It also has a robot arm with 4 servos. It is a relatively simple build as it uses the core of a "Move" robot and a MeArm Robot Arm sitting in a Meccano base. Everything is controlled by a Microbit. It is simple to put together and code as common MakeCode extensions are used. In addition to the 2 Microbits mentioned, a 3rd is used to communicate between them and Scratch running on the Pi. Communication is again quite straightforward as it uses GPIO pins as a binary code (around 20 codes in my case, using 8 pins in 2 sets of 4). Just connect the pins of the MicroBit to the Pis (with resistors for safety). The MicroBits communicate using their internal wireless facility. As mentioned the project is relatively complex but only uses components and code that beginners would learn as separate elements. As there are a lot of wires needed to connect GPIO pins to resistors, it is possible to replace this with a USB cable. I'll be doing this to demonstrate an alternative approach. It only requires a minor change to the MicroBit code and none to the Scratch code. It does however require a program running alongside Scratch to read from the MicroBit and set the GPIO pins for Scratch to read. I will use Processing as it's ideal for beginners especially when moving on from Scratch to a more advanced graphical language and also moving from MicroBits to Arduinos.
There are lots of interesting and simple things you can do with a Pi and then move on to using more complicated languages and add on hardware. Alternatively you can broaden the range of things that can be done by combining simple components. Both are fun and rewarding.
