Argon One Up: A Raspberry Pi CM5 Laptop with 14-inch 1200P Display Launches for $400

A new Raspberry Pi-based laptop, the Argon One Up, has successfully passed its Kickstarter crowdfunding phase and is now available for public sale. As reported by XDA, this innovative device is built to run on the powerful Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5 (CM5), offering a unique DIY experience for tech enthusiasts.

The Argon One Up is priced at $400, but it's important for potential buyers to note what this price includes. The base cost covers the laptop chassis and its integrated components. However, the core computing elements—the Raspberry Pi CM5 module itself, an SSD for storage, and the power supply—are not included and must be purchased separately.
