- xanderstrike 11y agoUse it as an HTPC/Streaming PC? A lightweight desktop replacement? Digital signage? Home automation? Home server? Built in b/g/n is a nice touch but most prefer the ease of installation, reliability, and goodput of ethernet over wifi for anything important. I suppose you could use a USB ethernet adapter, but now you're just sacrificing a USB port to have a less capable XU4. I'm not sure what market they're targeting here. I suppose you're just supposed to build mobile devices around this.
- Dylan16807 11y agoYeah, ethernet is nice for a bit of reliability but it's not that important. But I was focusing more on the 'gigabit' part, and what you listed generally doesn't need it.
