I also have Velcro where the Chrome logo is on the lid as I added a 7 port USB 3.x hub. Only one USB port is available if the "netbbook" is on a charger.
The hub has an optional PSU input that can also charge two ports when "laptop" is off. DVD player works fine on it, as does DVB-T stick, 1T backup HDD, isolated USB to TTL serial for Victron solar controllers, USB Parallel, regular USB serial, USB radio programmer, Kindle, Kobo, Sony NetMD minidisc and my favorite MS product (a USB mouse).

Ten media keys are F1 to F10

Other keys as per normal Linux keymaps.
CapsLock on an external keyboard is Compose.
The 512 G byte microSD is mounted in a directory in my home and has Calibre Library and all my user files.
Apart from the SD card as main user storage, weird keyboard and not working 3.5mm jack socket, it's just like Linux on an small laptop. External keyboard (USB or BT) and 16″ portable QHD via USB-C works (original USB-C charger to 2nd port on external screen charges the laptop).
€160 with warranty from CEX, though some sellers on Amazon UK have the model at £160 + shipping. WiFi runs up to 250 Mbps here (550 Mbps fibre) and 550 Mbps at friend's house (different router and 1 Gbps fibre).
