- microSD card is needed for setup, but not for operation, it boots from SSD.
- I also use an old wireless mouse that I had, until I find something else to use (trackpoint? trackball? touchpad?), but touchscreen also works. Maybe keyboards with built-in touchpad/trackball will work, but they are wider, so don't exactly fit my plan of building a laptop.
- Display can't be powered from RPi's USB power (not enough juice), so it needs two power adapters (one comes with LCD, one with RPi). I use UPS hat only as UPS -- it can power RPi from the battery, but not LCD :( Looking into powerbanks now.
- Mechanical keyboard has MX Blue-clone switches; very loud, but nice :)
- RPi has 4 USB 2.0 ports. 1 is connected to LCD touch, 1 to SSD, 1 to keyboard. Which leaves us with 1 port to connect something else — mouse or YubiKey. Will probably need a USB hub to have a free port or two.
