Comparison of the original pi-top and the new pi-top

The new pi-top now has a full-sized sliding keyboard and central trackpad. The sliding

keyboard reveals your modular magnetic rail to build your electronics and experiments. You get

easy access to all external ports via the back of the device. Additionally, there now is a specially

designed in-built passive Cooling Bridge for faster, stable processing with the Raspberry Pi

micro-PC.

This is the perfect Christmas present for makers, tinkerers, explorers and inventors of all ages.

Create and invent in the digital and, more importantly, physical world. Get ‘behind-the-scenes’
