Yeah. Although for me that mostly ends up as having the Pi somewhere on
the desk under/in front of the monitor, soooo... Also this is an
improved stepping of the SoC with higher frequency, 1.8 instead of 1.5
GHz, and it adds a huge heatsink which apparently makes for no
throttling whatsoever. See

Downside: weird orientation for HATs on the GPIO port, and no analogue
audio/video out. And no US keyboard kits with EU adapter. Tthey have no
keyboard layout for my country, so the US version is the next best
thing, but I do need an EU adapter. The standalone computer (only the
keyboard) is not such a good deal, I think.
