pi-topOS comes with an application known as 'web portal'. Find out what it is, and what it means for what you can do with your pi-top!
The pi-top 'Web Portal' is a web page, served from the pi-top, which allows access to configuration of the device and various other tools. You can use it to run updates, configure networks, access the desktop, remote control a rover, find resources and more!
Accessing the Web Portal
Before you can access the Web Portal, you must have a computer with a network connection to the pi-top, for example via the pi-top's built-in Wi-Fi Hotspot.
You can then find your pi-top's IP address, which is also the URL your web browser will need to open the Web Portal.
You can find a pi-top's IP address on the first page of the pi-top's built-in OLED Miniscreen menu. If you have multiple connections to the pi-top you can scroll through the Network section of the menu to see alternative IP address.
It's always a set of 4 numbers separated by dots e.g.:
192.168.1.65
172.10.3.5
Finally, open a new tab in your web browser and enter the pi-top's IP address into the address bar, which should open a web page like the following:

Check out the various tools in the menu on the left side and use the buttons on the right to launch them.
