There are multiple different flavors of mini-pcs and use cases for them. Namely, using them in shops and offices as some better terminal, often just connecting to some server. But also at home as a media center, for children or as an energy-friendly solution. Mobile usage would be usually at events, like a fair, convention, or some workshop, where you want something small light which is not heavy to carry. Especially when you have multiple of them will they be a better and often cheaper alternative to a notebook. Then there is also the special corner of people who want something small for working, hacking, tinkering, where a normal notebook is too big, heavy or expensive, or lacking some special feature. And then there is also the very special type of people, who just fancy exotic hardware, and buy it mainly for the coolness. The two last groups have usually a bit overlapping, and people want some small but powerful enough for mobile tinkering, which is also hackable on its own, and kinda fancy at the same time.
