@requiem I just saw that. Could be a great cyberdeck or a good self contained basic PC for parents, kids etc...
@thegibson @requiem Not putting a full size HDMI on there was pretty dumb but not a deal breaker.
@kelbot @TheGibson @requiem also a shame they didn't use a compute module and baseboard for some level of future-proofing tbh
@requiem https://youtu.be/OqpylxLhw98 There's teardowns. I don't think there's enough room inside for a battery. Maybe a very small one. It's not a particularly large unit.

@requiem Possibly. You would need to have the charging circuitry in the battery pack itself likely, and plug the battery directly into the AC adapter to charge it, I don't think you would be able to use the USB-C port on the 400 itself. Other than that, you should be able to power the pi off the GPIO port.
@requiem Someone on the Sudomod Discord grabbed a Pi 400, and tried it out. You can't power the 400 via the GPIO port, unfortunately. (And the USB-C port isn't hooked to the OTG port of the SoC.)
