The idea of `travel kit #raspi' does lend a certain appeal to the #Pi-Top #hardware, similarly to realization from #OLPC that kids really do need to be able to take their !education tools with them. Wondering why nobody seems to be talking about that.

So I guess that leaves the value of the #Pi-top software load as "It comes with Minecraft!"?

The few actual reviews that I see of the #Pi-Top edugame software (+ the bug-reports in their issue-tracker) seem to indicate `it doesn't actually work all that well, the team isn't doing a great job developing/maintaining it, and it's not #open-source so nobody else can fix the bugs when their kids run into them'. "curriculum that can't be adapted or fixed" has always seemed like !education #fail....

It sounds like a big part of the draw to the #Pi-Top is supposed to be the curricular material + custom OS + other software that comes with it, but after further research it also sounds like `we'd end up throwing most of that crap away'...

Should I get my son a #Pi-Top for his birthday, or a desktop #raspi + breadboard + grab bag of components?
