Pi-Top – The missing manual
Doing It Yourself
If all these points sound too complicated, you can ignore them and venture forth on your own. I managed without them, making just about every mistake possible, and I know first-hand that working through problems to create your own machine gives a sense of possession that buying a fully built computer can never hope to equal.
Still, for those who only want results, here's a chance to learn from my mistakes. The Pi-Top is a unique and intriguing new product and, with these pointers, there is no reason not to explore it. These suggestions should help you be up and running more quickly, while still having the satisfaction of doing the physical work yourself.
