While the mini PC market is clearly dominated by Intel, AMD is now trying to steal some market share, at least in the ULV sector. The embedded version of AMD's Ryzen CPUs come with up to 4 cores / 8-threads and can integrate up to 32 GB of RAM plus up to 1 TB SSD storage. The mini PC cases are fanless and also resistant to dust and shocks.

Who needs 4 Display ports, 2 Ethernet ports, and an old VGA port?
Ditch the VGA, ditch the extra Ethernet port, and ditch 2 of the 4 Display ports for 2 HDMI ports, and two additional USB 3 ports.
Oh yeah, trade the V1605B (CPU Base Freq. 2 GHz) for a V1807B (CPU Base Freq. 3.35 GHz)
Then you have yourself a deal, in fact I would purchase 3 of them today.

That's a serial port not a VGA port. I do agree on ditching 1 or 2 of the Dports for a HDMI. But a VGA port would be useful too for other situations. And higher frequency would mean that the passive heatsink would not be enough to dissipate the heat generated.
