Had it been nanoITX I would have liked it, and even bought it.

Would have liked this board to also come in a variant with SODIMM DDR3.

Could've been a perfect NAS board with a couple of more SATA connectors...

I have an Asus N3150-I which is similar to this that works great for a PFSense build (though also used them for office builds). The Celeron 3150 is decent...I do wonder if this AMD might compete or not...

This looks like it'd make a great budget office/web browser PC, or PFSense, OPNSense, etc. box on a budget with gobs of power for extra features like IDS, IPS, caching proxy, filtering, VPN servers, multiple subnets, etc. without skipping a beat.

Biostar is well known for their weird and awkward product launches. Nothing new really

I'm happy to see I'm not the only one baffled by this. What an odd thing to launch in 2017.
