I was on the verge of buying a Liva X that Newegg had on sale for $75. The CPU was a dual-core Silvermont and it had 2 GB of RAM (no EMMC, but you could install a mSATA SSD).

But I decided to sit tight and wait for a Apollo Lake (Goldmont). Because, 2 GB is a bit low (still usable, for my purposes) and once you add 512 GB or 1 TB SSD, the base cost of the system becomes less significant.

I am excited to see the ZE, though I could do without the COM ports, though. I'm hoping it's not too expensive. Ideally hoping to stay below $200, for the base platform, even if I have to wait 6 months or more. Perhaps within a year, it'd be possible to buy that + 1 TB M.2 SSD for $400?
