I use this a Kodi media center along with a Virtual stack that houses my firewall (PFSense), My DC, and two instances of Linux. I would NOT recommend this for any of the new gaming systems as it is laggy as hell on my copy of Wolfenstein: The New Order. Overall if you have a system you want to design or a lab you want to build this is a great tool. Plus there are several things you can upgrade on this as well. I added two USB 2.0 port on the lid so I would not sacrifice the 3.0 ports to a wireless dongle for the required peripherals (Keyboard and Mouse).***Pros ***Works great with VM Workstation Pro and Windows 10Works great as a functional network stackSmall and PortableUpgradeable... KindaGreat with Labs***Cons***Doesn't like to play well with the newer gamesExpensive
