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.

Factories, warehouses and so on. It really doesn't seem unreasonable machine for use in industrial uses that still want paper printouts. Also raid-1 might be option for SSDs so it is also reliable.
