I've been curious to compare this to a raspi for a while now. This is much more expensive for similar specs but it does run x86 apps natively. Mine booted fine first try, as slow as expected for a new windows install. Wifi and BT seem to have good range, and it is a nice shape. I haven't taken it apart yet but it should be quite a bit smaller than a raspi if the hdmi is removed. Steam in home streaming and ps4 remote play worked well. Accessing files over local net worked easily on windows so it's a good htpc solution. I would wait for these atom sticks to better compete with raspis or even beaglebords price wise before getting one though.
