⚙️ Technical Highlights
1. USB‑C Power Delivery
• 25 W capacity: Delivers steady 5 V at 5 A, a step above typical Micro‑USB limits of 15 W. That extra headroom enhances Pi performance, especially under sustained CPU/GPU load.
• Repositioned port: Located alongside dual HDMI ports, offering cleaner cable routing and easier access.
2. Dual NVMe Expansion via PCIe Gen2
• Two M.2 PCIe Gen2 x1 slots support NVMe SSDs (2230–2280) or AI modules like Hailo‑8L.
• RAID 0/1 support enables high-speed storage and redundancy setups—ideal for self-hosted NAS or edge AI workloads.
3. Advanced Cooling & Aesthetics
• Tower CPU heatsink + PWM fan, plus two RGB case fans, ensure temperature control.
• The OLED screen and customizable lighting balance form and function.
4. User-Friendly Features
• Safe-shutdown power button, IR receiver, GPIO extender, and tap-to-wake OLED add polish.
• Dual full-size HDMI and spring-loaded microSD slot simplify connections.
