I came across this linux small pc.

It doesn't really have enough processing power.

It also costs $410. For the buck, there's a lot more bang available in other small PCs. Though that one is pretty small, but I don't see why saving a handful of cubic inches is worth 50-100% more money at this scale.

What might be nice for LMCE would be integtrating the HA power management to turn MDs off/on entirely when they're not serving a person. Which would better be solid-state/diskless MDs. The energy savings over their couple-few years lifetime might be worth the extra expense, with actually silent operation a plus over merely "very quiet".
