I bought this to run a packet radio node, and it's perfect for that role. I didn't want something that would draw too much power, but I wanted a computer with more options than a Raspberry PI or similar SBC.Be warned, however, that my example did not include the pictured DB9 serial port, which I needed for my packet TNC.I had to purchase The correct adapter to attach to the pin header (Lenovo FRU 04X2733 ), which set me back another $30.
