Oh wow, this is almost exactly the sort of computer I keep wishing would be made. Design wise it seems like a "spiritual successor" to this SPARC laptop I have [0], with a mechanical keyboard and trackball, except significantly better in every way. I'm gonna have to find a way to fit this in my budget ;)
Only thing that concerns me, is I've had pretty bad luck with an older i.MX6 SoC and its Vivante GPU. The etnaviv project is incredible but I've never gotten it to work reliably. Apparently this specific quad-core i.MX6 is known for having weird MMU/memory problems with etnaviv, but I'm curious -- how much custom software does this need over "stock" Debian to get a reasonably smooth and reliable desktop?
