There is no Sata controller onboard.

In any case, I'm sure this is made in China with the usual ethical issues, where as the real Pi is actually made in Wales https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/fac...m-south-wales/

I mean, with this board, you can actually watch youtube videos, right?
But yes it's a Cherry Trail Intel tablet, it can probably work

If you want desktop connections, get a fucking PC motherboard. There is no shortage of low profile, single 12V plug powered, Atom boards out there.

There is also a single USB 2.0 port originally intended (and labelled for use) by the board designers for a webcam. But it's a general-purpose/standard USB 2.0 port if you wire the 5 pin JST header to a standard USB 2.0 Type A connector, as the "Enchilada" power baseplane/dev board does. One could make a tiny cheapo riser/adapter PCB with JST on the bottom and USB A 2.0 on the top if you wanted a simple solution without requiring the whole "Enchilada".
