The Raspberry Pi 400 is a Pi 4 in a keyboard shell that shines for low power tinkering, homelab services, and lightweight Linux tasks. It works well for ad blocking, DNS, dashboards, remote monitoring, basic browsing, retro gaming, and other always on projects, with wide software support and a handy GPIO header. The integrated keyboard is neat for teaching or casual projects, though it is not ideal for everyone. The 4GB RAM and modest CPU limit heavier desktop, media, and emulation use, and it still needs a solid 5V 3A power supply.

FYI: 4GB is on the borderline of models that are price-impacted by the ram shortage. 2GB or less is barely impacted, 8GB+ is stupid expensive these days.
It's far more useful than this thread gives credit - I've run one (just the basic RP3 then an RP4) for all kinds of things - ad-blocked DNS, Apple HomeKit emulation, home security software, home network camera management software, and all kinds of other things. It's easily fast enough for all of that - put it on a shelf, let it run forever using maybe a buck a month in electricity, if that, and it won't heat up the room it's in. Can't ask for better than that.
I used an RP3 to create an emulation / arcade box out of an old Street Fighter II Arcade1Up box - I upgraded the joysticks, added the RPI, added a USB encoder, added video controller, and it made a fantastic arcade machine with a thousand old 1980s and 1990s ROMs on it.
It will run a desktop Linux distribution, so if you want a full GUI to be able to do GUI things (web browser, etc) it works fine, but is best at reading NBC News, not at watching 4k youtube videos (which isn't a good experience). But aside from the heavy graphics things, it's perfectly fine as a basic desktop Linux box.
It is not a fast media box - Plex transcoding is a no on this, and so I eventually went to X86 Synology then ran Synology DSM on my own hardware with the XPenology project.
