BCM2711 ARM v8 CPU, running at 1.8GHz.
RISC OS 5.28 and 2.5GB of software as standard, with optional software worth more than £600.
Fast LPDDR4-3200 memory and Super Turbo Drive system.
Hidden USB Drive for sleek reliability, speed and performance.
Upright.
PiAno is a compact RISC OS machine, made from special matte acrylic to give a soft, frosted look, which dissipated the internal LEDS in a soft and pleasing way. The case is speciifically designed to hide as many external mountings as possible so that the outer case is silky smooth and it looks thoroughly modern. Given the design, it can be mounted in both a hroizontal position, or in an upright tower mode
Processing
Digital speed.
PiAno also features high-performance DDR4 memory, which combined with the state of the art ARM CPU running as standard at 1.8GHz, all adds up to faster processing. It can even be overclocked up to 2.1GHz. With more memory — it has 2GB as standard but can be upgraded to 4GB or even 8GB — it is capable of more than you can possibly imagine in RISC OS.
Storage
It’s Grand!
With a combination of a fast micro SD drive and our integrated high capacity Super Turbo Drive systems, the PiAno can store all of your necessary apps, and load them in super quick time. For users with access to disc-intensive applications like new, modern web browsers, the Super Turbo Drive allows the PiAno to load them even faster than SATA- connected drives on those machines with slower processors.
Expansion
Expanding your control.
PiAno allows easy access to the GPIO ports for managing a range of controllable devices. The case was designed with HATs in mind, especially a WIFI HAT, sp space is available. The PiAno has four external USB ports for a range of add-on devices, such as USB Audio, extra storage, and a range of Human Interface Devices (keyboard and mouse to you and me!).

It’s Cool
The PiAno comes complete with passive cooling heatsinks attached to all of the components that produce the most heat, and also an integrated 40mm active cooling fan. When combined with the acrylic layering to create venting holes in the case, the system remains cool in use.
