$200 and still micro HDMI? No, thanks.
Who is this product for? I've abandoned RPi after the rise of sub $200-PCs on Amazon, which usually come with power supply, on/off buttons, dual full size HDMIs, SSDs etc etc.

That's fine if you want a PC which is totally orthogonal to what the Pi is originally for.
The 500+ doesn't deliver on the original RPi scenarios either.
I suspect they had chosen the same HDMI port as was on the SBC so as to reduce confusion for the consumer.
I have seen this comment a few times, why do people hate micro hdmi?
Micro HDMI is basically a non working connector. It baffles me how it was even approved. One of the requirements of a connector is to work. Micro HDMI doesn't work. Sure, it might look like it's working (if you take a picture of a connected device) but in practice it doesn't work. Just a slight touch and you're losing signal. Immediately one might think that their connector, cable or device are broken. And this is a very valid guess. But the connector is not broken by accident, it was broken by design. A consumer connector should not require an additional exoskeleton to work. It means it's broken by design if it does.
because it's not popular and less durable. I can forgive the use of micro hdmi on limited size product. But this computer 100% has enough space for full size hdmi.
What's a reputable brand here?
Beelink seems to be one of the better brands. I own one and have no issues.
