Thank you very much for what you build. It's amazing, and will be the perfect replacement for my aging laptop.

The only thing missing for me is an ethernet port (which I need to connect to the internal network at work). Do you have any plan to add it as an extension card ? If no, any technical reasons why not ?

Thanks! We are developing an Ethernet Expansion Card. Due to the size of the receptacle and magnetics required, it'll bump out rather than being flush like the other cards, but still more convenient than an external dongle.

Same here, I am looking for something that does have rj45.

Some dell latitude laptops have a connector that "packs" itself, making it slim enough to be buit-in, without bumps. Is this an option for you folks?

How much do you think it will bump out? Will the laptop be stable on an even surface?
