Huh. That is interesting, seems almost like it fits in a niche
between a regular PC & a thin client.<br>
<br>
I've been trying to think of what it would be especially good for,
& I'm coming up empty - my initial thought was that pen-testers
could plug it in somewhere on a client network since it would be so
easy to hide, but it doesn't have an Ethernet port, & if you're
going to use the wireless connection, you could (usually) do that
from the parking lot with a laptop. I then thought that it might be
useful as a car PC, but a tablet would probably work much better for
that. Maybe as a highly-portable point-of-sale terminal??<br>
