Any clue about the price? Previous versions were not cheap...

  Only speculation until official announcement. However, it is worth noting that the Pi-Top 4 does not include built-in peripherals. That may affect the price.

  I have one of the older Pi-Tops. Everything about it except the price is cheap. The keyboard was just awful, the trackpad was worse, the battery management totally sucked, and the screen was annoyingly low resolution. Very disappointing. The new one looks considerably different than the model I have, so maybe they've fixed the issues, but I'm not inclined to buy another.

    > The keyboard was just awful, the trackpad was worse, the battery management totally sucked, and the screen was annoyingly low resolution. Perhaps thats why they did not include peripherals this time around. One of the big selling points of the Pi 4 is the 4K output. Providing anything less than a 4K screen would probably lock users into a disappointing product.

      The majority of people are still using 1080p screens these days. My laptop has a 1440p screen but the other monitors I use at work are 1080p and work fine. I don't think anyone will be disappointed by a 1080p screen.

        > The majority of people are still using 1080p screens these days. Right, but for how long? It would be much easier to upgrade a separate monitor down the road. Otherwise, the Pi-Top team would need to make duplicate products: one laptop that supported a 1080p screen and another laptop that supported a 4K screen.
