This 4" x 6" microcomputer is the Microsoft version of a Raspberry Pi. It has a lot more performance and can run Android or Windows 8.1.
It can be used for running the NEM client or harvesting.
for a mini-board it's way too expensive (I mean come on, at this price you can buy tablet, it won't be top-shelf, but it'll be enough for most uses). Why would you run nem on that if you can on raspi?
I have to agree, I bought a chromebook 2 years ago for the same price. Only downside is that my chromebook is dual core. It has much better stats in every other regard though, and it'll be 2 years old in a couple months!
