None of the Raspberry Pi computers have it I am pretty sure. And the newer RISC V boards likely do not.

I will buy some. Any recommendations?

I just want to preface that these are ARM computers and run Linux or BSD. If you game on your computer, you probably won't like them.

I am a personal fan of the Pi 500 all in one keyboard. I recommend a kit that comes with a power supply and HDMI cable. Worth picking up an SD card with the OS on it unless youre comfortable using an imager to put the OS on an SD card. There is a 500+ model with fancy RGB keyboard and M.2 NVMe SSD but I'm not sure it is worth the extra money. (I think it is also a preorder right now.) The 500 is less fancy and your main storage is microSD but for me at least, the price is right.

RISC V is more of an up and comer. It is probably too slow to be useful right now. The speed is probably equivalent to a 15 year old desktop, maybe worse.
