Raspberry has released a new modular laptop Pi-Top Source:

A New laptop from the company Raspberry Pi was created in order to allow the user not only able to update its hardware, but also had the opportunity to learn code and electronics, adjusting the hardware of the laptop under their current tasks.

Previously, the Raspberry Pi has already tried to release the laptop designer. For this purpose the company even put together on Indiegogo for the amount necessary for the implementation of the project, but not everything went smoothly. Last option is modular notebook was scary, not very comfortable and had a number of serious shortcomings. However, their tasks he performed more than perfectly. Now the Raspberry Pi has taken note of past mistakes, eliminate them, and then presented its new development price of $ 99.

Having got the hand, the company's engineers have developed, finally, a new laptop Pi-Top, which differs from its predecessors with a very simple Assembly and elementary access to the interior of the device. Pi-Top includes a full-size keyboard and touchpad, display 14 inches, three USB ports and an Ethernet port. To bring it into working condition, will need only six simple steps, whereas the previous models of the Raspberry was going for 23.

The Modules of e-filling and cooling system located under the keyboard, which moves down, allowing the user to literally «on the fly» will be able anything connect. At the Pi-Top has no bolts are used instead of the magnets, which will come in handy if the owner decides to put into practice bundled «set inventor» consisting of an additional circuit Board, LEDs, microphone and motion sensors.

This laptop will be useful for the novice programmer or the child. Set inventor allows you to learn using the application Pi-Top Coder, which includes three modes. Runs the Pi-Top Pi OS-TopOS Polaris, which pre-installed Google Chromium, LibraOffice and Minecraft Pi Edition.

By his power, he is unlikely to compete with laptops under Windows, but it is easy to adjust, equipped with additional plug-ins, including external, thus broadening its functionality and to continue learning. The price for the base model Pi-Top is 285 dollars, the top configuration will cost a bit more, 320 U.S. dollars.
