Well, that's pretty smooth

I was a bit wary of the product due to some negative reviews. They seemed to indicate build quality issues; But now that I have this thing, I can't help but wonder if, from initial testing, this isn't a common component failure that you see with all sorts of computer products. After 72 hours of testing, you often can't tell if a system works or not - and from what I've seen so far, the build quality is actually quite high. It's just a fantastic little computer. I didn't go the pfsense way, I went with the Loonix routing framework, but the principle is the same. It's easier than ever to work. The BIOS seems to support anything you'd ever want to do with this thing. (Note: It has _options_ to handle console redirection to a serial port, which is an RJ45 port that comes with a blue RJ45->DB9 ribbon cable like you get from a corporate switch.) I hope , I never have to change this review. At least for now, I would definitely recommend one of these little guys.

Pros
  • Computers and Tablets
Cons
  • The list will be long.
