Looks just slightly smaller than the Gigabyte Brix, but the low power consumption seems to be the selling point.

i think it is a little better than my duron 1000 462p but for 200u$ its hard to belive!

I always thought ECS stood for Easily the Crappiest System.

Academic and geologic engineering field use is the reason for powering it off a battery bank. Most battery banks recharge with solar panels and/or generators. Many use cases don't require constant connection to a monitor

Pretty cool but what would this be used for, ideally? Raspberry Pi and similar products are much cheaper. It seems like this would be fun for around $100, not $200.

Raspberry Pi and similar products are useless to the vast majority of users. This, on the other hand, can easily be connected to most TV's and used for occasional web surfing and e-mail without being an eye sore. Since it's easily passively cooled, it can be hidden just about anywhere. You can also run Windows or Linux off it as long as you have reasonable performance expectations.

Lol no, mate. It's way smaller than BRIX.

Totally agree, I mean this is netbook hardware. For 200 USD you get... a complete netbook!

This is smartphone/tablet hardware..... For $200, you get a smartphone/tablet in a very compact, wannabe desktop.....
