## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=ARGN-0038:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart.
- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/ARGN-0038:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)
- **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there.
- **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works)

## Description

The Argon ONE UP Laptop is a specialised chassis engineered specifically to house and power the [Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5 (CM5)](https://core-electronics.com.au/raspberry-pi-compute-module-5.html). It transforms the high-performance, industry-focused CM5 module into a fully integrated, portable workstation, featuring a crisp 14-inch IPS display, an integrated battery management system, and a full suite of connectivity options typically reserved for carrier boards.

This variant of the Argon ONE UP Laptop does not include the Compute Module or SSD, so if you have one in your keepsake parts box, this might be for you!

If you're looking for **a ready-to-go kit - or just want to learn more about the chassis**, check out [the Complete variant](https://core-electronics.com.au/argon-one-up-laptop-including-cm5.html).
