I think part of it is just the marketing copy for this site is just, well, bad:
> pi‑top [4] comes with the following: gigabit ethernet meaning faster network storage and access to servers, dual HDMI for two 4k screen displays, 4GB of LPDDR4 SDRAM meaning more applications can run, two USB 3 ports and one USB 2 port for connecting devices and peripherals.
Nothing is listed that isn't part of the Pi 4 itself, while the picture clearly shows a bunch of other ports (what are they?). Later it mentions a "foundation plate" but with no details.
Also, some of the built-in ports are not mentioned:
* one of the USB 2 ports (guessing the case uses it for something?)
* 2-lane MIPI DSI display port
* 2-lane MIPI CSI camera port
* 4-pole stereo audio and composite video port
There's also a project page [1] that shows a camera added, which certainly looks like it uses the on-board camera port, but doesn't make it clear how that works or if the camera is included or not.
