Update: I got the device. Here’s what I got in the box:
From the left, clockwise:
- infrared receiver extension kit, with a 1/8" jack
- TV mounting kit
- HDMI cable
- power supply (5V 2A, negative sleeve, positive tip)
- remote controller
- remote receiver dongle
- the vero 4k itself
There are a few things odd, right there. The first thing is the remote looks like an IR remote, and sure enough there’s that “infrared receiver extension kit” shipped with the device. But the website specifically mentions a “OSMC RF remote control” is part of the kit. Is that the same device?
Either way, where does the IR extension kit plug in? As you can see in the picture, there are two 1/8" jacks on the vero, next to the ethernet port. Which one is which?
Then the remote receiver dongle is never mentioned on the website, which clearly says there are two USB ports. Yet one of those needs to be used by the remote receiver, so it’s a bit misleading to say there are two USB ports.
Finally, I would have expected the “TV mounting kit” to be a standard VESA adapter or something of the sort, not something that’s basically a piece of plastic with some glue. 
Going back to my work of clarifying the design, here are the ports in the back of the device, from left to right:
- DC power, presumably 5V <= 2A
- SPDIF audio output
- HDMI port
- Ethernet port
- 1/8" jack, CVBS and analogue audio output
- 1/8" jack, IR extension socket
Then on the “left” side (the right side in the first picture, but left when looking at the front of the Vero):
- USB 2.0 port, white (with OTG support)
- USB 2.0 port, black
- top: microSD card slot
- bottom: two thin slots, presumably for venting
In the picture, the “back” of the device is shown in front, and is where power comes out. The “front” of the device has a LED in front of a “plus” sign (+).
The bottom of the device has two sets of tiny venting holes, the MAC address on a sticker with a bar code, and two holes where the TV mounting kit fits. The center of the holes are about 53mm apart. There are four small rubber pads glued to the bottom of the device as well. There are no obvious screws that would allow me to open the machine and look inside without risking to break it, which might make repairs difficult.
It’s unclear to me what the difference between the “black” and “white” USB ports are. I wish the OSMC folks would provide schematics that would explain at least what each ports are: surely that’s not covered by a NDA…

I have also performed network benchmarks here:
Specifically, the Vero 4k+ can almost saturate a gigabit network using raw TCP sockets. It has more trouble when going through SSH, naturally.
