It's a bummer they went with the micro HDMI ports despite the RPi 500 not being constrained in size like its SBC siblings (I mean, look at all that space to the right of the USB ports [1]).
Also, I wonder what all those unpopulated pads around the Ethernet port [2] are?

- jsheard 2y agoThe silkscreen says PoE so I guess the unpopulated components would be for that. PoE would be an odd addition for a keyboard computer though, maybe they intend to use the same PCB in something else?
- rcarmo 2y agoThin clients are a great use case for PoE. Think about a school environment. But yes, I suspect they will be using the PCB for something else. the NVMe takes too much space to be a "mistake".
