I have one and I can confirm it's great. They even provide a Linux image for it (but I stuck my $FAVORITE_DISTRO on it with minimal fuss). The fact that it has an Intel CPU and can run plain Windows is a big plus in my book over the Pyra, but that's just my preference.

Built in ethernet and serial port have proven useful as I'm running around debugging networks.

What I really have been searching for, however, is a clone of the Toshiba Libretto 50CT with a modern CPU and ports. To me that represented the peak of micro computers. The keyboard is small but usable, the mouse is fantastic (you grip the screen, the buttons are on the back of the screen - don't knock it till you try it). I'm lowkey considering making a replacement PCB for it.
