I've seen a few mentions of this device on different sites in the past week. It appears to give you much more "bang for your buck" than a Raspberry Pi for roughly the same price, it is Intel-based rather than ARM-based and it will run Ubuntu (and presumably other versions of Linux) or Windows. I haven't actually seen one up close, but it seems to me that those who are concerned about the number of simultaneous calls that a Raspberry Pi can handle just might find this more to their liking. Mind you, in applications where the Raspberry Pi is sufficient it would probably still be a better choice, because it is smaller and has a standard power connector, and probably uses less power and generates less heat in operation. But if you think you need more processing power than what a RPi offers, or just hate ARM-based devices, this may be an option for you.
