I think that it's worth mentioning that there are other options in the SBC
market other than the 400 kilo gorilla.

Here's a recent survey of current and shortly upcoming options:

For example I recently purchased a pair of pcduino3 nanos:

along with the upgraded processor and memory (dual core Allwinner A20
Cortex A7 Dual core at 1 Ghz and 1GB ram), I was really impressed with the
peripheral offerings:

- onboard 4GB NAND flash with Ubuntu preloaded
- onboard SATA port + microSD slot.
- 1Gb Ethernet
- OTG USB port
- Arduino UNO socket interfaces

All this still clocks in at $39 USD + shipping. It's big brother adds wifi
support too.

There are other products with USB3 support. There are 2GB ram offerings.
There are 8-core offerings. SBCs run the gamut.
