Yeah, this looks nice but the keyboard seems a bit cheap. Also, there appears to be no camera connection so I suppose a USB camera would be need if looking to use one.
Jeff Geerling did a breakdown of the Pi 400 and it looks like there are no heat-sinks on the main chips so that might be an issue with cooling since they are using a faster processor. Jeff has another video where he over clocked the Pi to 2.2 Ghz so that would be interesting but even hotter.

I like the idea though. It's like the old ZX Spectrum or Commodore systems. Considering that Eben Upton came from a Gaming background, it sort of makes sense.
I'm still not sure if I will jump on this as of yet though.
Perhaps a book on Game programming on the Pi 400 would be of interest to some.
