As article alludes, this is basically an industrial or point of sale device. I imagine it in something like a car repair shop, where your order and estimate gets printed on a 3 part carbonless form. More compact than a PC with a separate printer, but I bet it's expensive. Still cool.

With USFF machines being a few hundred dollars, or roughly the same cost as any other machine from dell, hp, lenovo...

I'm shocked they bothered.

I'd be less shocked if its just an old design with an off the shelf SBC stuffed inside the case.
