Pros: * cheapest 64 bit ARM * 8GB flash * onboard GPS Cons: * relatively slow cores * 1GB ram * no usb3 * no ethernet (100 or 1000) * no sata For lightweight desktop/server use, this is a horrible board. The XU4 blows it away on all counts. However, the inclusion of onboard GPS shows more what it was meant for: things that move. Likely battery powered things that move. The utility of the board comes down to the max and idle power draw. The XU4 is the board to compare the DragonBoard against; it does 2.5W idle and 8W-12W peak. If Qualcomm can beat those by a factor of four or so, then I could see a place for the DragonBoard.
