I agree with everything @geerlingguy says here, except that my ONE UP's touchpad is really stiff and hard to click. It might just be my unit; it might be I'm not familiar with non-Mac touchpads.

#ArgonOneUp

Well if anyone else has an #ArgonOneUp and wants to try out this janky (but functional) gnome battery indicator extension I wrote, have at it. Keep in mind I don't really know javascript and I also don't really know gnome. Still was fun to learn a bit though.

@yangmusa @castaway Found it.

Edit: I found the Wayland documentation that describes how the touchpad ("clickpad") currently works in Raspberry Pi OS Trixie. Right-click is done by clicking (not tapping) a small area in the corner of the pad.

It's to early to have serious impressions of the Argon ONE UP except that it's a small laptop. And I can post to Mastodon from it.

#ArgonOneUp

The Argon ONE UP arrived. It sat outside for a while, and it's too cold to touch. But soon, I'll have a little laptop with a big GPIO header. I guess it's time to figure out how to install Raspbian on an SSD. (The laptop has an SD card slot, so I can boot from that too.)

Argon ONE UP hits Kickstarter for $330 and up (Raspberry Pi CM5-powered laptop)

The Argon ONE UP is a laptop with a 14 inch, 1920 x 1200 pixel IPS LCD display, an aluminum body, backlit keyboard, and one thing that sets it apart from most other laptops: the Argon ONE UP is powered by a removable Raspberry Pi CM5 computer module.

Argon40 has been making Raspberry Pi accessories like cases for years, but this year the company is branching out with its first laptop shell. […]

For some reason, I just backed the Argon ONE UP laptop on Kickstarter. FOMO, I guess.

#ArgonOneUp #RaspberryPi

The #ArgonOneUP really looks like those "chinese" #MacBook Air clones

And due to it's design and thinn-ness doesn't even accomondate a proper #heatpipe and (optional) #fan to keep it cool longterm...

The #ArgonOneUP to me has some PineBook vibes but abusing USB-C for a #GPIO connector is not just cursed but dangerous as in "Do they have some protection circuitry to protect it from stupid plugging it into a #USBc charger?"

  • Instead of going exteme on the "#thinn-ness" they could've chosen to just have some magnetic-attaching pogo pin thingy that gets plonk'd into an #IDE 40-pin / 44-pin - style connector instead. (as that has way less chance to get intermixed with a real IDE device!)

Plus I'm shure they could've made it cheaper, last longer on battery and be more hackable if they used like 18540 or 14500 cells instead.

  • To me it looks like someone took a generic "#LincPlus" "#Ultrabook" and widened the "#SSD hatch" to accompany a #CM5 as well as an M.2 SSD...

Okay, #Argon40's #ArgonOneUP looks cool...

My problem is that it's on kickstarter and closed and not available from Argon40 or any of their #distributors and #pricing info is rather hazy, with some sites suggesting it to be around U$D 400-ish.

Thanks to @geerlingguy for looking into it, even tho I wished there would've been just like a @frameworkcomputer - Style #Mainboard to shove a #CM5 into a #Framework13 or #Framework12 but alas, that's not it.
