Using the ASRock A300 today and already pretty happy with it (small, quiet, reasonable cost, gets the work done), though of course agree the next APUs should be a noticeable step up.
It'd've been nice if ASRock's micro-STX formfactor had taken off and gotten an AM4 variation (http://www.asrock.com/nettop/Intel/DeskMini%20GTXRX/index.asp http://www.asrock.com/nettop/Intel/DeskMini%20GTXRX/index.as... ). It's a mini-tower bigger than NUC or the A300 but smaller than mini-ITX. Compared to mini-ITX, it takes an MXM GPU instead of having a full-sized PCI slot and uses an external brick PSU. The extra benefit on the AM4 side would've been that even a weak dGPU allows using non-APU chips, at least up to the supported TDP.
