I've got a few of these chips (or something very similar, the J4105) in some repurposed Dell Wyze 5070s. They're actually really impressive chips (to me), in that they really sip power and do a lot including web browsing, running a lightweight IDE, basic office suite stuff on Debian, and are really over powered as an appliance (they're popular to convert to run as routers). Honestly I'm really surprised they didn't sell a lot more of these.
The Intel spec for these chips says only 8GB of RAM, but they're dual channel and I find they'll actually run 32GB just fine. The newer N-series processors everyone seems to like
are actually kind of inferior in that regard, since they're single channel and apparently
really only do 16GB of RAM.
