The USB ports on the side can be used for more temporary peripherals. Meanwhile, for this computer, literally all those things can be plugged in on the back unless the power port is somewhere else, as that wasn't mentioned. Just talking about ports, a typical desktop setup will use ports on two sides of a modern Pi: power input and display output on one side, USB keyboard and mouse and possibly Ethernet on the other. If we were, I could start talking about benchmark numbers for the different processors, the speed advantages of the SSD in this one, or so many other points of differentiation. Re: So, very much like the wildly popular Raspberry Pi series.
