EMMC:

Unlike other boards UP board comes with EMMC storage which is onboard storage so you don't need to spend extra money on SD cards

PSU:

power supply which you can get from their website is rated at 5V 4A and most importantly it is totally modular no no matter where you live you don't need to buy adapter

WiFi & BT

but also board does not have onboard WiFi and Bluetooth which can be added via adapters

Physically both the board are almost similar such as Ethernet port USB ports and HDMI are located as same places but there are few different ports on Up board such as DSI and CSI
