The new version, called Polaris, has a fresh new dashboard design and updates to the CODER programming interface. pi-topOS offers a lot of user interface improvements over the standard Raspbian OS and is well worth trying out. Myself and the other pi-topCHAMPIONS got a chance to beta-test the new OS on our recent away-weekend at Bletchley Park. It really is a step-change for pi-top and they&#8217;ve clearly worked hard to be the number one choice of OS for the Raspberry Pi. So, if you&#8217;ve never tried it before, <a href=\"https:\/\/pi-top.com\/get-started\" target=\"_blank\">give it a go<\/a>. And if you&#8217;ve used pi-topOS before, now&#8217;s a good time to <a href=\"https:\/\/pi-top.com\/get-started\" target=\"_blank\">download the image and try out the improvements<\/a>.
