Not only are they meant to inspire people to open up and learn about their own hardware, but the interactive software included on these laptops aims toward teaching the basics of programming, coding ,and game development in a fun learning environment.
The Pi-top is also easily portable, at only 13.3” and shipped in a convenient kit, it’s easy to take with you on the go. These computers are very affordable, though some technical specifications like memory are more limited.
The top of the Pi-top includes programmable buttons, a backlit keyboard, and trackpad.
The underside should have a specific serial number for your Pi-top.
