Sounds nice. I'd like to see a hardware that is optimized for being a low power, high bandwidth network server at home:

- 1 or 2 M.2 NVMe for fast storage

- 2 RAM sockets for expandability. Not sure if DDR5 or if DDR4 is sufficient. SO-DIMM is fine.

- 2.5 GBit ethernet (or better). Two ports would be better than one.

- a CPU with a bunch of cores that can saturate it well. Also a NPU inside the CPU.

- power via USB-PD

- optionally a couple of USB ports for things like USB sticks, Wifi (if needed), printer.

That's it. I don't need a display port like HDMI or DP.
