Product description: Argon ONE UP CM5 Laptop Shell - laptop case for Raspberry Pi CM5
The Argon ONE UP CM5 Laptop Shell is a complete laptop enclosure designed for the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5. This design allows you to build an open ARM laptop for creators, students, developers, educators, and users developing projects based on the Raspberry Pi ecosystem. The device features a 14-inch IPS screen with a resolution of 1920 x 1200 px and a refresh rate of 60 Hz , a full aluminum chassis, a backlit keyboard, a built-in fan, and a 55 Wh Li-Polymer battery.
The Shell laptop is equipped with an M.2 Key-M slot for an NVMe SSD , WiFi 5 and Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity, an HDMI 2.0 port, a 2MP 1080p front-facing camera, dual microphones, and stereo speakers. The kit also includes the Argon ONE UP 40-pin GPIO Module , which allows access to the Raspberry Pi CM5's GPIO interface through modified USB Type-C ports. The design supports CM5-compatible systems, including Raspberry Pi OS, Ubuntu, and Debian-based distributions.
The kit does not include a Raspberry Pi CM5 module, M.2 NVMe drive, or 45W power supply. These items must be purchased separately, according to project requirements.

Argon ONE UP CM5 Laptop Shell for Creators and Education
The Argon ONE UP CM5 Laptop Shell was designed as an open alternative to traditional laptops based on proprietary hardware platforms. By utilizing the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5, users can customize the module to their specific needs, such as RAM, eMMC storage, or system boot mode. This solution is well-suited for learning Linux, programming, electronics, IoT projects, and working with Raspberry Pi OS, Ubuntu, and Debian.
Unlike a regular developer board in a case, the Argon ONE UP offers the form of a full-fledged laptop with a screen, keyboard, battery, camera, speakers and utility ports. Access to the 40-pin GPIO allows you to continue to take advantage of the key capabilities of the Raspberry Pi ecosystem, such as connecting sensors, modules, relays, and custom electronics. It's a practical platform for makers, students, teachers, hobbyists, and prototypers.
The Argon ONE UP CM5 Laptop Shell was designed as an open alternative to classic laptops based on closed hardware platforms.Applications
The Argon ONE UP CM5 Laptop Shell is a portable learning station for programming, electronics, Linux, and embedded systems. It can be used in schools, technical labs, makerspaces, educational laboratories, and by users developing projects with the Raspberry Pi CM5.
Thanks to the M.2 NVMe slot, the laptop can function as a mobile workstation, an administrative terminal, a test platform, a home automation computer, or a tool for prototyping IoT projects. GPIO access via the included module allows for experimenting with electronics without sacrificing the convenience of working on a laptop.
