Delivering affordable, secure, and powerful enterprise endpoints for businesses with the all-in-one keyboard computer and LEAF OS

Raspberry Pi, a leader in low-cost, high-performance computing, announces the launch of the Raspberry Pi 500+ all-in-one keyboard computer, and its partnership with NComputing, a global authority in end-user computing solutions, targeting the enterprise market.

Windows 10 support ends in October 2025, and over 40% of business PCs cannot migrate to Windows 11, representing tens of millions of devices at risk of security gaps and costly refresh cycles. Raspberry Pi 500+ offers enterprises a low-cost, secure, and easily deployed desktop replacement. The computer combines a powerful quad-core 64-bit Arm processor, 16 GB RAM, and swappable SSD in a compact, ergonomic keyboard with integrated Wi-Fi®, Bluetooth, and Gigabit Ethernet, delivering enterprise performance at a fraction of the traditional PC cost.

Deploying NComputing's LEAF OS on Raspberry Pi 500+ enables enterprises to:

  • Shift computing to the cloud - Runs workloads centrally rather than on individual devices, lowering security risks and simplifying IT management.
  • Strengthen security by design - Working with all major virtual desktop and cloud platforms, NComputing's LEAF OS is a secure, read-only operating system with no local data storage, reducing the device's attack surface and lowering security risks.
  • Ensure smooth performance - Optimised performance for virtual desktops and cloud apps, with full support for USB peripherals, ensuring a seamless user experience.
  • Manage endpoints centrally - Endpoint Manager makes it easy to configure, update, and support devices from one place, cutting time and complexity for IT teams.
  • Lower total cost of ownership - Combines hardware and software into a compact device, cutting equipment, licensing, and operational expenses.

Raspberry Pi 500+ delivers an affordable, powerful, and secure endpoint designed for organisations adopting VDI, DaaS, and SaaS at scale. It's the most sophisticated product launched by Raspberry Pi to date, designed specifically for customers needs by offering a fully integrated, ready-to-deploy solution straight out of the box. Together with NComputing's LEAF OS, Raspberry Pi 500+ offers enterprises a compelling alternative to traditional vendor solutions in a multi-billion-dollar market.

Eben Upton, CEO, Raspberry Pi commented, "Raspberry Pi 500+ brings enterprise-ready performance in a compact, keyboard-based form factor. By working with NComputing, enterprises can now deploy this device with LEAF OS to securely deliver Windows 11 and cloud-based applications, all at a fraction of the cost of traditional endpoints."

Young Song, CEO, NComputing said, "Partnering with Raspberry Pi allows us to bring an innovative, cost-effective, and secure solution to organisations facing the Windows 10 end-of-life challenge. Raspberry Pi 500+ with LEAF OS empowers IT teams to simplify endpoint management, reduce operational overhead, and significantly lower total cost of ownership."
