I'm placing this post here because I don't know where else to put it. Admins, feel free to move it.
So several months ago I bought a CM5 (lite, 8GB) and an official Development Kit (includes case, power supply, etc). My goal was to use it a learning tool, development and desktop replacement. While I have had more than a few bumps getting the OS setup to my liking, overall I am pretty happy. It run surprisingly fast for everyday tasks.

- The keyboard sucks ! Specifically the space bar. It misses inputting the space at least 25% of the time. I would replace it but ...
- Install the full STANDARD set of ports on the IO board. Yes, the missing USB-A ports are on the keyboard, but I think they would be netter on the IO board
- Where is the second Ethernet port ?
- Last, it would sure be nice if the USB-C power input accepted USB Power Delivery up to 100W. Then you could add some additional USB-C ports to power other devices.
