To me it is unsuitable for a FreedomBox: It lacks ethernet.
Adding USB-based ethernet is not an option IMO: Quality of that is bad.
We have plenty of good options, so I see no reason to consider bad ones.
How do you find this option better than (or on par with) the 59
currently at <https://wiki.debian.org/FreedomBox/TargetedHardware>?
Is it that architecture is AMD64? Is it the confidence that Intel is a
big company? Is it the form factor? Or perhaps you see it as a
_benefit_ that it does not include ethernet? Why do you suggest it?
- Jonas
P.S.
Also, I have not yet seen this device generally for sale anywhere.
