No need for a third-party news aggregator submission, here is the canonical submission for discussion on the official raspberrypi.org post: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20260863

Finally Ethernet is not throttled through usb2

[peterburkimsher]

My first reaction to the specs:

Pros:

+ USB 3: Very nice! Finally a pocket-sized, fast USB host.

+ Dual HDMI: Could be useful as a projector computer.

+ 1.5 GHz: Good, it might be fast enough for some real work.

+ Gigabit Ethernet: Excellent for those using it as a NAS.

+ USB-C for power: Not surprising, it's the standard now.

Cons:

- MicroHDMI: Incompatible with the 800x480 HDMI 3.5" screen [1]. Also different again to the MiniHDMI on the Pi Zero (will there be a new Pi Zero soon? Who knows.)

- Power consumption! They recommend a 15W power supply, which means I'm pretty sure this won't run on batteries.

15W is basically 5V * 3A, there's plenty of PSUs that offer that and more, even some of the phone chargers. My 30K mAh powerbank offers a 6A output, so there shouldn't be any problems with running RPi on batts.

I don't have one to test with, but I suspect that if you replace the hard U joint HDMI "cable" with a short microhdmi<->HDMI cable the display will continue to work just fine.

Depends on the batteries, probably...

But certainly, this is not a device for a shoestring power supply. Not a Wattage-Guzzler either.

My Intel laptop uses 45W and it doesn't have dual 4K hdmi support.

15W is crazy low for what it is offering.
