blackbird_tm is right that there is no high-res display capability, but if you are ok with alternative methods of interaction, such as audio, OLED display, VNC, web, etc., it could be used as a "computing device." You could also use a USB video card from what I've heard, but of course that would be a rather lame laptop. It has a fair amount of storage, decent CPU, and runs Linux well in my experience.
