Excited to see more low-power, but still powerful, networking gear. I run OPNsense on an old Dell SFF, which is awesome since I can stick a few expansion cards and have 10G networking for <$200, but it draws 60W on average. Cutting that down would be great, but the reviewed device here is still 3-4x more expensive so its hard to justify the upgrade.
I had previously tried an ARM-based "Espressobin" which was only about $50 but had no 10G and little-to-no official support, couldn't even reliably boot into Linux.
Good signs for the future though!

There apparently is a successor "macchiatobin" that has 2xSFP+, but comments of poor software support is disconcerting https://macchiatobin.net/ https://macchiatobin.net/
