The pi-top, officially named the pi-top [3], is an exciting DIY laptop that you can assemble yourself. It's a perfect tool to start your coding journey, create amazing devices, and enhance your knowledge. Powered by Raspberry Pi, this laptop is ideal for hobbyists, students, and anyone curious about the capabilities of the credit - card sized development board. The only thing not included in the kit is a speaker, which you'll need to get separately. The pi-top features a 14' HD LCD screen with a 1920 x 1080 resolution, a slide - out keyboard with a trackpad, a smart battery pack that can run the laptop for 6 - 8 hours, and a Hub PCB for power management and other functions. You don't have to worry about cables or the OS. Everything to connect each part is in the box (except a small Phillips head screwdriver), and the latest pi - top OS is on an 8GB microSD card. Assembly is a breeze; just plug or snap in all the parts with minimal use of the included tools. All pi - tops come pre - loaded with CEEDuniverse, a multiplayer online game that teaches you coding, circuit building, and hardware interaction in real - time. For instance, you'll be mining for resources in CEEDuniverse, but you need to program your mining bot to activate the Mining Machine. And yes, Minecraft is pre - installed on each laptop! The new version comes with both the Raspberry Pi 3B+ and the pi - top Inventor's Kit. The Inventor's Kit includes a breadboard that snaps into the built - in Modular Rail, along with buttons, LEDs, potentiometers, etc. It also offers instructions and templates to help you start building your Music Maker, Smart Robot, or Space Race game. Note: This item is non - returnable. Due to the installed battery, it may take longer to process and does not qualify for same - day shipping. Also, these batteries can't be shipped via Ground or Economy methods to Alaska or Hawaii. We're sorry for any inconvenience.






Using the pi - top is a great experience. First, when you get it, assemble the parts. It's easy; just follow the included instructions, plug or snap the parts together, and use the included tools sparingly (you'll need your own small Phillips head screwdriver). Once assembled, turn it on. You'll find the pre - loaded CEEDuniverse game. It's a fun way to learn coding and build circuits. Try programming your mining bot in the game to activate the Mining Machine. Also, enjoy the pre - installed Minecraft. If you want to use the Inventor's Kit, snap the breadboard into the Modular Rail and use the buttons, LEDs, and potentiometers as per the provided templates and instructions to build your own projects like a Music Maker or a Smart Robot. As for maintenance, keep the laptop clean. Don't expose it to extreme temperatures or humidity. When it comes to the battery, don't over - charge or completely drain it. Remember, this item is non - returnable. Due to the battery, it takes longer to process and can't be shipped via Ground or Economy to Alaska or Hawaii.
