Seems pretty rad. Could be used for some gaming stuff, emulation, retro.

I suppose this might have some advantages over the raspberry pi but I'm guessing price wont be one of them.

It would be pretty cool to use with Steam in-home streaming.

I'm betting $199 - $249. what ya think? maybe that is too high?

This is one of those things shown off at CES that is stuart from Mad TV " Look what I can do" then spazzes out. Then never gets released. Most stuff at CES never does get released.

According to this totally legit top keks article, the Windows version will be $150, and Linux will be $89.

And it's coming this March.
