No fucking way they stuck with mini HDMI I swear to God. The only thing I wanted from a new gen was an HDMI port designed to actually be used

And they kept the same WiFi / Bluetooth chip, known for being completely unstable and recommended to be supplemented for almost any project

Still no m2 slot support? SD cards remind me of the 5400rpm HDD days.

It does support m.2 (and presumably other single-lane pcie devices via a HAT apparently.

So that's an improvement

While true m.2 is available as a bulky Hat, I wonder when they will start using the underside more. There is so much space where e.g. a m.2 slot would have fit perfect while still keeping the whole system slim.

I mean the M2 I feel for most uses it would mean extra costs just to be unused the hats makes much more sense.

[-] Rootiest@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

To be fair it doesn't have to be a hat. They have the pcie lane rigged up to an FPC connector similar to the DSI ones. So someone could easily design an m.2 drive enclosure, PCB, etc that just accepts the FPC ribbon and you can mount it wherever you'd like

I'm not sure it's needed, but certainly would be nice. Most applications for a pi are just fine on a high performance SD card
