Ports Galore!

Windows for Devices have done their usual in-depth look at VIA's new VB7009 Mini-ITX board. Their overview reveals just how port-friendly this board is:

"The VB7009 supports up to 4GB of DDR3 memory, provides eight USB 2.0 ports and up to six serial ports, has two gigabit Ethernet ports, and offers a PCI expansion slot, according to the company."

The VB7009 is designed for kiosk and PoS applications and the multitude of connectivity options no doubt let developers explore many options.
