You can remove the speaker grille and swap it for a different colored one. Pure says you can choose from "Dazzling Blue, Radiant Orchid, Mango, and Cayenne."

At the back of the Jongo T4 is an Ethernet port as an alternative to the built-in Wi-Fi, a line-in, and a USB port for updating the software.

I Got an Early Look at Intel's Glass Packaging Tech for Faster Chips
Rahul Manepalli, right, Intel's module engineering leader, shows a glass substrate panel before it's sliced into the small rectangles that will be bonded to the undersides of hundreds of test processors. The technology, shown here at Intel's CH8 facility in Chandler, Arizona, stands to improve performance and power consumption of advanced processors arriving later this decade. Glass substrates should permit physically larger processors comprised of several small "chiplets" for AI and data center work, but Intel expects they'll trickle down to PCs, too.
