Dobby, but it does have M.2 slots. Two of them

nearly ~3200 € for an router that comes not sorted with one or two
miniPCIe or M.2 slots would be not really funny, also another phy
likes a free programmable Xillinx FPGA or a free PCIe slot to hug up
the entire number of LAN ports with perhaps a HotLava PCIe NIC
is a pity and really sad. I am really horny to get my hands on this
router and test it here in Germany also, but having some more options
for a larger user database, log or syslog storage would be really awesome.

But ok let us really see what they are have fiddled out.

You have a sharp eye nz-monkey 🙂 The first review was done with the pre=production unit, and MikroTik is sending us some pictures of the actual production model inside and out. Once we have a production model in our lab, there will be subsequent reviews with performance test metrics. Our ESXi lab hosts currently have 40 Gbps of capacity and we have parts on order to increase it to 80 Gbps so we can perform a proper load test.

Agree 100% this is a very exciting router from MT and opens up a world of possibilities.

e.g. does not have m2 slots and different phy

This is a very exciting product from Mikrotik.
