Just need a bigger battery. 15W is achievable. You'll add more weight obviously but you get the extras of the pi4. Tradeoff. As for the screen you pointed to, isn't an adapter available?
also, 15W is max power I suppose, how low can it go if you configure and use it for small tasks
Oh this is great. WiFi and gbit ethernet onboard is what I needed. Is USB and network bandwidth still shared?
"The Ethernet controller on the main SoC is connected to an external Broadcom PHY over a dedicated RGMII link, providing full throughput. USB is provided via an external VLI controller, connected over a single PCI Express Gen 2 lane, and providing a total of 4Gbps of bandwidth, shared between the four ports." Better than one could've hoped!!
It feels like every time I get round to doing a project with a Pi they create a new one with literally no indication or advertising. Suddenly out of the blue a new one appears.
Desktop performance my behind. What's the point of all that CPU power when IO performance remains in mid 2000s territory? It takes forever to boot, any time disk access occurs everything crawls to a halt. M.2 has been around for 5+ years now and would have easily fit on this design in its short length form factor. No datasheet for the SoC either. Again. There are vastly better SBCs out there.

Has anyone had success using an ARM based system for local development in Linux?

I’m not very familiar with the hardware here but could someone elaborate on why this seems to be such a big deal that there are four versions of the announcement trending on the first page?
You can buy a pretty powerful full computer (networking, video, RAM, etc) that fits on a tiny card for $35. That makes it possible to build all sorts of fun things on next to zero budget - everything from robots to video game emulation systems and tv streaming boxes. The previous 3 versions were already wildly popular, but there were starting to show their age and to be significantly outperformed by Nvidia's Jetson N…

They remove all the bottleneck from the previous generations making it more interesting for networking and desktop use.
All? What about that nasty SD card?
I've got an sd card reader on my laptop, it isn't a bottleneck though.
