Raspberry who?

F@ck yeah, a better all rounder than the PI (people have been complaining about the PI not playing HD movies properly or jerkily and taking a while to start)

Sure it's twice the price, but it's more than twice the spec and probably worth it.

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

Makes mini projects possible, such as:

You want a media PC to perform a basic function like stream movies from your pc but you can't justifyy to build a pc for that job and it would take up to much room, bam there's your answer

you have a small workshop, you just bought a cnc mill, but dont really want a big PC taking room, bam there's your answer

you want a pc in your car but mini pc's plus screen plus other stuff = expensive build, bam there's your answer

you are doing R&D, manufacturing or engineering at home or at work, rather than having pc's everywhere you have one of these for a specific task, or use this as a controller for the device in development etc...

This ^ is what I'm thinking, particularly for the APC one, which could just sit in a tiny box behind the TV and has all the connections for wiring up.

The Pi and the AllWinner (here) would be more useful for travelling, having a portable computer that you could just plug into any TV and pickup WiFi anywhere, very handy.
