@@LuisPerez-5 The 16GB model is $120 retail, plus a 250GB NVMe drive runs you around $30-40 on top of that, plus the case costs $35... yeah no he's 100% correct. Most N100 x86 mini PCs run around that price right now and will smoke the Pi5, most also come with 500GB storage too and are fully linux compatible.
@@googlesucks6029 N100 based mini PCs do use a little more power than the Pi but it's not a massive difference, and depending on needs it might be preferable because of the extra power. For example if you just need a basic DIY NAS and have no plans to do a Plex/Jellyfin server, then a Pi would be your best bet. But if you want Plex/Jellyfin as well, and to take advantage of the hardware transcoding options, an N100 would be the go to. Not only is it faster transcoding, but it's able to handle more simultaneous streams if you have multiple TVs in the house with people watching on them. Ideally you won't need transcoding at all, but all the various sticks and dongles, or built in "smart" TV hardware you never know what will and won't need transcoding, so it's better to be safe than sorry.
That OLED probably connects to the Pi over SPI/I2C, so theoretically you could ignore the Argon utility and make a little script that would boot to terminal on the OLED and completely interact with the OS on the tiny acreen, without the need for a full monitor.
I bought the same thing except for a 8 GB raspberry pi 5 but they were out of the OLED monitor that you got I was wondering, would you recommend an another one that I could get? Also, is it possible to get a more detailed video on how you were able to put the operating system on the M.2 drive
Yo ETA PRIME, with all that fancy cooling tech in the Argon ONE V5, are we building a mini PC or a spaceship? 🚀 I mean, 3 GHz on the CPU without breaking a sweat? What’s next, a built-in coffee maker? ☕️
I had high hopes for the Argon One V3, but I couldn't get it to supply power to the pi no matter how many times I disconnected and reconnected the daughter board. If this one had been available, I'm sure I would have picked it.
... yes. The Pi 1 was able to do retro games, and the Pi 2 was more powerful, and the Pi 3 and the Pi 4 as well, each generation got more powerful than the previous, enabling more and more retro gaming/emulation options... why wouldn't the 5?
yeah, tons of videos on Pi gaming. If you want to game I'd go with a cool gaming case, like those that Retroflag makes. I think right now the only pi 5 case is the N64 case though.
I've enjoyed Pi4 and it's fine for retro emulation. But needed x86/x64 hardware with powerful GPU for modern games, switch emulation, PC ports etc. When we start seeing mini PCs with more power and less pricey, it will be perfect.
Honestly get a N100 or N150 mini pc, they're usually quite small with upgradeable RAM, decent emulation performance and cheaper than a raspberry pi and with more processing power.
@@googlesucks6029 Yes, my friend has an N100 and it can play a lot more. One thing they don't tell you is that the Pi can't play many ports, unless it was specifically coded for it.
@@googlesucks6029 As always, TH-cam and their acceptable words in comments. I'll try again. N97 minis are a bit faster. Look on the web site of the company named after a rain forest. There's one under 140.
Can't find the model that has two M.2 drives, they sell the single M.2 board desperately but no dual M.2 board. I wonder if it isn't released yet? Also surprised how cheap this case is, I bought one of their cases for I think the pi 3 and it wasn't cheap, like outrageously expensive compared to other cases at the time but this one is pretty cheap.
Their support for older hardware is lightyears better than anyone else. As soon as the competition releases a board, they almost immediately abandon it, which has been my main issue
True, but I believe his enthusiasm is mostly true. But, many times the performance he is super impressed about has nose bleeding prices up in the stratosphere. That's the main issue I have with him. Great products with prices that are ridiculous.
Very cool device. The only issue is that when you add the cost of everything, you are already in NUC or small x86 territory....
It doesn't go that high.

Except if someone needs the ultra low power consumption of a raspberry pi, it's completely terrible values for money using it as a mini pc.
@imglidinhere Right so it really depends on what you will use it for.

Which portable monitor used in this video?
Looks like they made the RTC battery plug available, does it fit with the top on??

you said something about zigbee on here? does that daughter board have some zigbee capabilities?

The sickest desktop pi is the cm5 dev kit though?
I need that screw driver!!!
me too
In the back are those the pins we can use to outfit an external GPU to the Pi 5 or are those concealed?

I have a few Deskpi pro and Agon one cases in use and love them all, but I wish that they could combine it with a poe Hat
This is pretty cool has anyone ever tried to add a egpu to a raspberry pi with PCI e
Can you do light gaming on it? like retro games?

not only emulation for retro games but full Linux desktop PC type use. Some games won't work though, if it requires x86 hardware

what's your monitor?
raspberry pi foundation needs urgently to come up with something competitive, if not im not sure if theyll survive in a few years...

Sold out already 😂

What OLED Display is this?
Heh, it's all sold out. ETA Prime, hope Argon40 is kicking a few dollars your way.
*LINUX!!!*
raspberry actualy sells SSD
Can it run Crysis?
Cool but just stupid expensive for what it is. The days of a Pi being a good value ended with the 5.
And.... it's gone. Maybe they will make more.
They did sell out of the V3 case back in summer and it came back in stock. Fingers crossed.
Can it run Minecraft?
PWM ❌

Why does nobody ever take the stickers off their nvme drives before slapping a heatsink on them?! Don'y they know that defeats the purpose?
I was wondering the same thing but one blogger experimented and he found it didn't make much difference stickers on or off.
Actually it was proved that the sticket ascually act's as thermal interface and it helps the thermalpad
Others already said what was known. I'll add that they may deny you support if you removed it
