I don't understand these things.  If you need I/O pins, or non-standard
I/O ports (like device USB, as opposed to the usual host USB), then OK.
I personally have used them for that, at work.  But, if you need
commodity PC, then just buy commodity PC.  You know, I bought my T450
for $300 CAD 2 years ago, on Black Friday sale if I remember.

When Sinclair, Commodore, Atari came out long ago, there were no other
alternatives.  But, now?  Maybe their market is baby boomers reminiscing
about the good old days.
