Assuming the price for this thing isn’t insane, I would still buy it and just never use the microSD port. That’s fine.

What I am a bit annoyed at is the lack of any good USB-C ports. USB 4 or thunderbolt are incredibly useful for fast drives and display support, and not having that sucks. I’d be buying this as an HTPC for gaming, so again, it’s not a deal breaker, just annoying.

In 2026 I don’t think users need 4 USB-A ports and one token USB-C port?
