Good specs for the size. I guess you could save some desk space. I'm assuming a laptop with similar specs would cost more?

Very nice little machine, pop in a SSD and your good to go, should be able to handle 90% of what anyone does on their computer.

1st thing I thought.... WHY!? would you put a HDD in that? drop it and install a SSD and low the watts and gain massive speed.

Huh. Kind of want. With a decent SSD and more RAM, this should be a nice set-top box for browsing the web and a bit of casual gaming from the couch. Could even plug in a wireless controller if you're into that.
