That's a 5 year old Apollo lake CPU. There are much better low power sbcs available. Anything with Gracemount will cost the same, have the same or lower watts and be much faster.
- N100 mini PCs with 8GB of RAM have broken the sub $100 price point. They may not be single board but they're about the same size as this. I do like the dual nics and case on the Zima board but I would never buy one.
Take control of your open source software by hosting it in this closed source chinese hardware
- Could you please share a completely open hardware alternative to this?
  
  What I mean is the combination: closed source and Chinese, specially for network related stuff I just don't trust it. For other applications that I can completely isolate it, it should be fine. Still it's very hard to find open source hardware. That's why I usually prefer older, more proven, machines.
