Pi-Top CEED - Green
Is this CEED desktop screen compatible with the NEW Raspberry Pi 3B+?
It says compatible with Pi 3 but does not mention 3B+. Any idea if compatible with the latter too?

Whilst the CEED does come with a Raspberry Pi 3 B, the 3B+ is also compatible.Was this answer helpful?
Pi-TopOS
Does this OS include Scratch? If not, can I replace it with the normal Raspian?

What do I need
Hi my son has just discovered the world of Pi and is wanting one for his birthday, we've seen the pi ceed and it seems a good way to start out - can I just check it comes with the power adaptor and I'll not need a second one for the Pi 3?
Also it comes with an 8gb sd card pre installed - how big is the os and how much space is left? 8gb doesn't seem a lot so just wondering if I need to expand it straight away.
Also how does the ceed os compare with the pre loaded os provided on the sd cards available with the Pi 3?
Basically any help/advice on what is required to give him an out of the box start to using the pi and learning code!
Thanks

The power adaptor that comes with the CEED powers everything, so no need for an additional power supply.
8Gb should be enough space for coding. If you want to store large files then you'll want to upgrade the SD Card.
Providing you have a keyboard and mouse spare, the CEED will pretty much get you going in a few minutes from opening the box.
