$225.00 inc GST $204.55 ex GST
pi-top [4] is an easy-to-use programmable computing device based on Raspberry Pi that combines digital making, coding, and practical projects.
Includes Raspberry Pi 4B, 4GB RAM, Quad-Core 64-bit SoC at 1.5GHz (pre-installed)
Powered by the Raspberry Pi 4B (pre-installed), this modular device works with your Windows, Apple, and Chromebook computers to take your learning out of this world.
Connect it to moisture sensors to record environmental changes, wear it to measure movement and motion and use it to control everything from robotic vehicles to stage lights.
Every pi-top[4] comes with our Foundation Kit, containing 14 components including programmable sensors, buttons, LEDs, plus LEGO® connectors.

Product overview
Powered by the hugely successful Raspberry Pi computer, pi-top [4] easily connects to your other PCs, making deploying code and retrieving results easy. It also works out of the box with your existing screens, keyboards and mice, as well as our brand new wireless keyboard and HD touch screen.
CONNECT [4]
Includes Raspberry Pi’s GPIO connectivity as standard, meaning you’ve instant access to thousands of free projects, components, resources and support. We’ve made getting connected even easier with pi-top’s GPIO Node extension cable, which brings the interface front and centre. It also handily clips into third party products such as LEGO.
PLUG, PROGRAM, PLAY
With pi-top [4], we’re introducing the pi-top Makers Architecture (PMA), a game-changing range of accessories that take maker connectivity to the next level. PMA offers ‘plug, program and play’ options for a wide variety of sensors, cameras, motors and other off-the-shelf components.
SHOW IT THE DOOR
With its internal battery and sturdy construction, pi-top [4] loves nothing more than taking the learning experience out of the classroom and into the real world. Attach it to a drone, control hydroponic systems or record environmental changes. It’s so small and light you can even wear it, and command LEDs or record data from actors to athletes.
MINI SCREEN, BIG DATA
As well as connecting to a regular computer screen or video projector, pi-top [4] also has a built-in mini OLED screen. This can be programmed to display information on projects you’re running, such as data and readings from attached sensors, to system information like battery life and CPU usage. The four buttons either side are also fully programmable with a wide range of commands.
WHAT’S IN THE BOX?
Every pi-top4 comes with the following in the box:
- Raspberry Pi 4B 4GB
- 16GB SD card
- Power pack
- Multi-tool
