One gripe with the Argon One Up is WiFi performance seems to be weak. Reading the documentation, it appears the CM5 defaults to using a PCB-trace antenna which lives behind a massive heatsink inside the base of the laptop.

Not a recipe for success on microwave bands.

https://www.jeffgeerling.com/blog/2022/enable-external-antenna-connector-on-raspberry-pi-compute-module-45/ describes how to switch it to the "external" antenna, which is presumably better placed.

Doing this, it seems to receive a lot better.

I switched my #ArgonOneUp to Ubuntu 26.04 (LTS?) yesterday. It still doesn't have suspend/resume, AFAICT. It seems to be a fine browsing/note taking laptop, though I'm still not loving the touchpad.

I'm thinking about installing VSCode on it and writing some code on it. It probably won't like that.

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.

@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.

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.
