This Pi-Top review video takes a look at a DIY Raspberry Pi laptop kit. There is both hardware and software included in the kit that I will take a look at.
Full Review: https://pimylifeup.com/pi-top-review/
The hardware you get in the pi-top kit contains everything you need to get a laptop up and going. The battery you get is very decent with a battery life of about 8-14 hours depending on what you’re doing.
The casing of the pi-top is of pretty good quality but there are some design flaws that you might want to be aware of. For example, you only have access to about 1 USB slot via the side port.
If you want more information on the hardware, then be sure to watch the video above or head over to the website.
The software you get with the Pi-top includes an application called the CEED universe. This is a cool education game that teaches you the basics of coding and circuitry. Whilst it is still in alpha this game has huge potential to become better and better.
The operating system itself on this DIY Raspberry Pi laptop is pretty decent but suffers from bugs here and there. The most annoying bug I came across was when the desktop GUI decided to continually crash. A simple reboot fixed the problem for now. Another is the inability to update the operating system when you first boot the laptop up. A fix will need to be run in order to correct the problem. Once this has been done you shouldn’t have to fix it ever again.
There are quite a few pros and also cons to this Pi laptop so be sure to watch the video or head over to the website to learn all about them.
I hope that this pi-top review has answered most of your questions about this device. If you have any feedback, I missed something, got something wrong or anything else then feel free to drop a comment below or over at pimylifeup.com.")
