Looks like you could use a Pi 4, but requires a good bit of modding. The pi-top team had a blog post about it: https://www.pi-top.com/blog/how-t...en-3-build

So all I have to do is pop in my Pi 3 B+ and I would have a laptop?

Does it include a battery?

Does it include a speaker?

Easy to swap sd cards once the pi is installed?

Can this be used as a cheap portable gaming rig? Any accessories needed?

I always wanted one of these, but could never justify the cost. For $45, this would make a great parsec laptop. Throw an old Rpi3 into it, install parsec on a desktop somewhere, and just remote in for all your gaming/day to day needs/etc.

Same questions i have...
doesn't look like a battery is included, not even as an option/ extra. the speaker seems to be an extra (https://shop.pi-top.com/collectio...topspeaker).
Comes with an SD extractor so probably not that easy to swap SD cards but doable.
Have a few raspberry pi 3s lying around
This would make at least one of them more useful/ usable

It says 8 hour battery life so I think it might have one, but it is unclear.

Can the screen somehow be used as an external display for a PC? Good price for a 14" screen.

From the product page:

"Each pi-top [3] comes with an Inventors Kit to get you making."

What is an inventors kit?

That is the reason it isn't compatible with the Pi4. Because you need to modify it to change the power to USB C and change the HDMI to Micro HDMI. No reason you couldnt use it with a Pi4, but they aren't going to advertise it as compatible if it isnt out of the box.
