Jeff's review was the first one I watched, and currently watching the
tearapart. From appearances they utilized a better keyboard than the
crap on the Pi400. And if this is the case, my homebrew project won't be
going anywhere.

I'll be ordering the standalone when someone has them in stock. Right
now, I can't find a vendor who has it available.
