For $199, you get a lot of features and bundled stuff like the power supply with the computer, and features for a computer which is also fanless, and portable. I think this would be a good computer to install Google Android, Windows XP, or Linux on.
I also like that it is fanless, and use less power then a typical computer and laptop.
I wonder would $199 and cheaper computers would be used by most people who mainly use their computer to do office work, view photos, watch video, listen to music, read, browse the web, and play casual games rather then buying a $400-$1000 plus computer from a store.
