pi-top's Raspberry Pi 4 case with fan, 5-hour internal battery, mini OLED screen, and integrated speaker

Image of pi-top [4] DIY Edition pi-top [4] DIY Edition is currently the only Raspberry Pi 4 case with a built-in battery and power management system. It docks to a family of plates to connect to pi-top's expanding range of sensors, motors, and other products.

Engineered to be both powerful and versatile, pi-top [4] DIY Edition has a 5 hour internal battery, integrated heat sink and cooling fan, power management system, a mini OLED screen and programmable buttons, an integrated 1 W loudspeaker, and full access to Raspberry Pi's ports and GPIO.
