Introducing - Lapis One We believe everyone should have a small Linux computer at home, and we’ve been thinking about what your first mini PC should look like in the age of AI agents. At Pamir, we want to bring a new wave of fun, hands-on tech to everyone.

support local small businesses

$359 for a Raspberry Pi with a couple of attachments is crazy

please double check our spec before you compare with a rpi 🥺🥺🥺

@seeksharpe @grok can you please do a fair and factual comparison of this device and its internals and hardware vs my Raspberry Pi 5 16gb in its Pironman 5 case. Ty

Lapis One (RK3576: 4x A72 + 4x A53 ~2.2 GHz, 6 TOPS NPU, 8 GB LPDDR5, 64 GB eMMC + M.2 2230, 3300 mAh battery, 85×85×28 mm, mono LCD, Wi-Fi 6/BT 5.4/NFC, Agent KVM, fingerprint, secure Debian) vs your Pi 5 16 GB in Pironman 5 (4x A76 2.4 GHz, 16 GB LPDDR4X, microSD + larger NVMe, no battery, ~112×79×117 mm tower with OLED/RGB/cooling, Wi-Fi 5/BT 5, full HDMI/USB/Eth/40-pin GPIO). Pi 5 wins on CPU power and RAM for general tasks. Lapis adds dedicated NPU, battery, compactness, and agent KVM features. Different tools for different jobs.

@cyburke @pamir_ai @seeksharpe Now list the cost of both.

@cyburke @pamir_ai @seeksharpe Lapis One: $359 (early bird/sale; regular $599; currently sold out, preorders shipping later 2026). Pi 5 16GB: $305 official. Pironman 5 case: $80. Total ~$385 (plus power/storage as needed).

@zauravs @cyburke @pamir_ai @seeksharpe Now which one would you prefer, if you want to stay in a “flat”

@zauravs @cyburke @pamir_ai @seeksharpe Lapis One. At 85x85x28 mm with battery, it's purpose-built flat and portable for agents on the go. The Pironman 5 turns the Pi into a mini tower (~112x79x117 mm), better for desk setups.

i love it

I love the vibe. I'm sure some people will find this useful. I personally would find a 16 gigabyte version without the KVM, but a real display adapter, DVI perhaps. And ditch the screen to make it a micro PC. That could be extremely useful in my world. If you wanted them to sell like hotcakes with no end in sight, add an upgraded option to have an 8 or 16 gig VRAM GPU attached for AI inference.

There may be some gems in this discussion I had with Grok. Feel free to use them in any way you see fit. I'd love to see a canned product for a small price go crazy. m4 Mac is the product I strongly suspect can be improved upon in terms of similar performance for a much smaller price tag and slightly less performance for an even smaller price tag.

excited to support you guys

No shipping outside of usa 😢

soon

@zerus999 soon, after the promo has ended? 😭

@zerus999 we gonna figure it out this week

Ordered last night! Are there plans for a carrying case with a lanyard or a carabiner to attach to my backpack?l

we are working on a small carry case

Would be a nice perk for pre orders.

Hi there, I'm sat here trying to preorder. The issue, I live in the UK. I have an r1 and a Reachy mini all from across the pond. Please sort this out ASAP.

we are working on this

Quicker please! I will pay for whatever the cost is.

omg @darkosubotica this is made for you

yo this is cool! would love to share this with my audience!

help us make tiktok and real 😫

why does every backdrop tech companies use in marketing/podcasts look exactly like this

Lol bro I bought it at costco, they are really good looking for a sound panel for the price!

proud owner

I bought (and use) the distiller alpha. Anything for me as an early adopter?

a mini PC for everyone could spark creativity in so many new users

Finally, a mini PC that justifies explaining Linux to the whole family again.

crazy, need one

This is absolutely brilliant! You have to launch this on @ProductHunt. Will be so fun to review too.

Looks lovely! Hows the battery life?

3300mah can last 2~3hr light use

LAPIS?

absolutely fire ⚡️

Lets say... Im a Teenage Engineering and Nothing fan. This is AMAZING! I want to know more!

polished demos hide the awkward click path that teaches the product; i want to see where this tiny computer gets delightfully weird in ordinary use.

check some of our other videos!

Oh my god yes

I love this, great work!

🤩🤩🤩

Excited for this!

Too bad it only ships within the US, this is brilliant!

where u based ?

KL, Malaysia

Great work! Wishing all the success.

omg this is so cute! had to get one

Congrats on the launch! Honest question: what chip is under the hood? People keep underestimating what a local Linux box can run these days

check website full details there

@genaiupstart This is not the way to handle support for a new product folks know nothing about. You didn't even share the URL. Most folks don't have the time. As @dhh says you need to transfer enthusiasm and this is not it. Prepare a graphic and share instead. Don't be lazy.

@genaiupstart @dhh

This is adorable and incredible

Bought one already! We need this to run the Metal Arms with Astra

This is amazing

@RayFernando1337 So much cool hardware is coming out lately my house is going to look like a museum.

It’s pretty!
