The specs are vague, but I think the difference is that this one has a processor included on the board. It isn't just a motherboard, but a full solution much like the Rasp Pi except a lot more powerful.

The problem I see running into is that a Win 7 license will effectively double the price of the unit unless Linux is used instead. We are also talking about a Sandy Bridge chip on this thing, with a built-in GPU. However, the more promising outlook is having Ivy onboard. An HD4000 would be fantastic in such a small device.

Like Ima said, this is pretty much a Mac Mini for 1/6th of the price.
