The body indeed is very compact and has an internal volume of just 1.2 liters. It can also be mounted on the wall or on the back of a monitor using VESA mount.

Being a very compact and powerful computer does not mean, it has small number of ports. In fact you get a total of six USB ports, two audio jacks for headphone and microphone along with VGA and display ports.
