YMMV, but I take it with me when I go out, like a phone. I'm the kind of guy to slip my laptop into my bag when I go out, in case I want to relax at a coffee shop for a bit - the Micro PC renders that unnecessary. It's far more ergonomic for chatting and web browsing than a smartphone, and it's capable of doing more or less any desktop task. You could comfortably use org-mode on the go for example, if that's your bag. It's also handy for miscellaneous tasks where being small or durable is an advantage - I plug it into my surround sound to play tunes (USB, but it has a headphone jack too), and it's really useful on a crowded workbench for displaying schematics or documentation. I would never let my main laptop anywhere near a solder station, but this tough little guy can nestle in there no problem. Good kitchen computer too, for the same reason.
