Is there any information on why it is called the '400'? there seems to be no important specification with 400 in it, so where does the name come from?


The important specification is that this is based on Raspberry Pi 4, thus... 400.

Since it is modeled after computers in the 80s that were sold in a keyboard form factor, such as the Atari 400 and the Amiga 500, they apparently thought that a three digit number would hit the right note for the nostalgia they wanted to invoke.
