    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

        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.

        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

      Agreed. Seems like I am going to skip this generation or if I need a new Pi, buy a 4.

        Personally I’m not sure yet. Sounds like its gotten a very much needed performance boost but those drawbacks are certainly disappointing.
