    I am almost tempted by it, but I'm really worried about the WiFi.

    Networking 1 RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet LAN, optional WiFi 802.11n (2.4/5.0 GHz) via Atheros ATH9k module

    No AC? 802.11n is 10 years old.

    Thunderbolt 3 ports would've been nice, especially when comparing to the new Mac mini that has 4 Thunderbolt 3 ports.

    If it's like the Librem13 and Librem15, the usb-c port is data only.

    Seems like a pretty useful gadget to have, unfortunately the price is a deal breaker for me.

    Dual Port Ethernet/8GB-DDR/256GB-SSD; $499 this is a winner !
