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...
