What should a potential Pi500 look like?

[/RaspberryPi]

Now that the Pi5 is on the market, we can expect a Pi500 in the future, the first Pi-Based general-purpose desktop system with enough power for the average everyday user. Since it is a desktop system, it also requires a more desktop-like approach. I wonder what people want to do differently compared to the Pi400 and Pi5.

-A true M.2 slot instead of the FPC slot

-more than three USB connectors

-8Gbyte of memory at least as an option

-analogue Audio connector

-a slightly larger case and a space for connector breakouts. For example I want to put RS232 electronics and connectors inside. Or a LVDS connector or a second RJ45 or whatever. Keeping things tidily inside.

Anything else?

​

What imho doesn't make sense:

-replacement board for Pi400 - uneconomic

-don't bloat the basic system. This is still a Pi, not a Xeon Workstation.
