Small and very versatile.
Can be used as a mediacenter or server.
Compatible with Linux (Ubuntu).
I bought this product to replace an Intel NUC whose fan was about to fail. So I looked for a fanless model.
Installed under Linux Debian, it supports a web server and some synchronisation services without any problem.
