    If you want a low power, cheap x86 mini-PC to run a Linux box for low demand uses (personal TV Box, PC for a family member that only ever does light web browsing and e-mail) they do have some nice processors.

    I mean, you can also use an ARM SBC for some of those things, but it’s handy to have an x86 processor because of easier availability of binaries, plus even the low power ones are actually more powerful than the ARM stuff.

    That’s about the only thing, really.
