The Raspberry Pi open-source laptop that you’ve been waiting for has arrived with the pi-top v2! With this kit you can unleash your inner inventor to create projects and explore technology while using the famous Raspberry Pi. pi-top strives to inspire inventors and creators to seek the skills of tomorrow and create their future, today. The new pi-top is a modular laptop and introduces the world’s first, all-new sliding keyboard.
Slide the keyboard down and add your Raspberry Pi in a few simple steps. Switch on and explore an extraordinary collection of projects and inventions – limited only by your imagination.
The new pi-top includes a load of familiar apps such as Google Suite, Google’s Chromium web-browser, a full Microsoft Office compatible suite, 3D printing software, Scratch block-based Coding and more. In addition, it offers fun games, such as Minecraft for Pi, and pi-top’s own exciting space exploration game, CEEDuniverse, to develop your range of digital skills.
