integrated Raspi notebook like by AMD or Intel cpus?
some times ago it had been asked before (topics meanwhile locked), so to update this issue:
Is meanwhile an integrated Raspi notebook available, perhaps/probably by a 3rd party manufacturer, like it's known by common AMD or Intel cpu based notebooks, but for the Raspberry LINUX world...:
feat a Pi4/5 SOC, a built-in Li battery, a built-in QWERTZ keyboard, a built-in SSD, and a built-in suitable (e.g. 12-13") fullHD or 4K touchscreen ?

Re: integrated Raspi notebook like by AMD or Intel cpus?
thank you, after all, as it seems, it's a kick starter project, so probably not yet available in Germany/EU...? (CMIIW)
Nonetheless, as to about 2.500 US$ is quite overprized IMO... :-/

aah... never heard about HK$ before... Hongkong $ as Google just told me... ;)aBUGSworstnightmare wrote: ↑Mon Oct 20, 2025 9:34 amnot US$ price Is stated in HK$ = around 230EUR including CM5 and SSD
so indeed, around 230 EUR is quite reasonable 8-)
Re: integrated Raspi notebook like by AMD or Intel cpus?
after reading about it on several websites, it's looking good - now I'll just have to find a German (or at least EU country) provider to purchase it...

Re: integrated Raspi notebook like by AMD or Intel cpus?
it's not available yet.
Anyhow, my assumption is that any Argon40 reseller will be able to offer it once it is in mass production.
Re: integrated Raspi notebook like by AMD or Intel cpus?
I see, thank you, gladly looking forward.... 8-)

If you want an ARM-based notebook... buy a Mac. If you specifically want an approximation of RPiOS on it, then jailbreak it and install Debian.bigkahuna wrote: ↑Mon Oct 20, 2025 9:21 amsome times ago it had been asked before (topics meanwhile locked), so to update this issue:

Or a new Surface.... quite enthused with my work issued one. Strongly considering getting one for personal use and installing Debian since I am Windows free at home.W. H.

as stated: I want a Raspi-based notebook (i.e., because of the common Raspi GPIO header and I/O control libs)W. H. Heydt wrote: ↑Mon Oct 20, 2025 2:29 pmIf you want an ARM-based notebook... buy a Mac. If you specifically want an approximation of RPiOS on it, then jailbreak it and install Debian.
Re: integrated Raspi notebook like by AMD or Intel cpus?
From what I read, the GPIO is provided by a USB adaptor. If you want notebook + GPIO, can you use the Argon GPIO USB adaptor with other computers? If so, I would buy the adaptor for use with my current computer in situations where the breadboard has to be some distance from the processor.
For a notebook, plugging in USB would be easier than replugging 25 GPIO jumper leads. I could also use any notebook. My previous notebook was 14", the same as the Argon One Up but I upgraded to 15.6" when the old notebook failed. I would not go back to 14".

Re: integrated Raspi notebook like by AMD or Intel cpus?
Just to clarify, the Dual USB C to GPIO adapter is custom for use with only Argon One Up laptop. it is using GPIO pinout directly from the CM5 module.

Re: integrated Raspi notebook like by AMD or Intel cpus?
That looks useless to me as I would need one of the type C sockets for other things. I guess the Adafruit FT232H Breakout device would be a better choice.

Re: integrated Raspi notebook like by AMD or Intel cpus?
well, that's your opinion! If you 'only' want to have some GPIO-pins which you're able to control by whatever method from your Win/OSx/Linux notebook then there are multiple options for you too choose (i.e. said adafruit breakout with tthe FTDI chip).
GPIO40 from a Pi based notebook is different though.

- Argon one up with GPIO adapter connected. The 40-pin ribbon cable is connected to a sparkfun Qwiic HAT (initially designed for use with Pi400/Pi500) which has some devices connected to I2C and a 1.3in 240x240pixels display on SPI0

Re: integrated Raspi notebook like by AMD or Intel cpus?
thanks, but my intention is an original Raspberry Pi 4 or 5, built into a notebook case with all the usual technical bells and whistles (a built-in German QWERTZ keyboard is essential).
Just to mention, my current notebooks are all Win11/i7.

Re: integrated Raspi notebook like by AMD or Intel cpus?
update,
I just read that there are muliple GPIO control software issues concerning Pi5 - so I would prefer a Notebook based on Pi4 over a Pi5 (I am only using C/C++ by wiringPi, apt or possibly github community version).

Re: integrated Raspi notebook like by AMD or Intel cpus?
you should read again ...
If you want a Pi4 based notebook you can try to get hands on a Pitop 3 and modify that to accept a CM4

Re: integrated Raspi notebook like by AMD or Intel cpus?
i have a crowpi laptop for my old rpi4
https://m.elecrow.com/pages/shop/product/details?id=17
it's okay mainly have it hooked to a screen right now
for my old rpi5 i stuck it on a touchscreen, prepping it for a cyber deck mod
https://wiki.52pi.com/index.php?title=EP-0188
this is currently my last project, haven't finished yet because i had surgery so i'm laid up.
