Micro Computing, there's an increasing demand for enthusiasts, media presentation and advertising/POS engines that have systems like this. I assist a shop with their IT infrastructure and something like this as their EPOS systems because their in a listed/old building means routing cables is problematic but wireless can traverse reasonably well and with the gain and number of those aerials means it would be better suited.

But micro computing has been increasing in demand for a while. In the network security world I work in, micro systems like these are perfect as portable firewalls or SOHO/Small Business Units.

For me: Firewall / UTM platform - 2 lans for internet and inernal network, plus wifi to run the guest network. Bought something similar based on the 3150 Atom.

unless it has intel dual NIC cards i would not use this as a router/firewall, but for other tasks it be fine
