It's a good-looking device, but it was stupid of them to use M1 as the name when Apple's got that name locked down as far as what shows up in a search engine.

Pardon my ignorance, I’m just starting to learn some things here; what are the applications of this device?
To serve as a router or firewall.
Thank you!
My APU4 running OpenWRT kinda struggles to run SQM on my 1.2gbps connection, cuts the download speeds in half, I wonder if this i3 could do any better.
Very likely as the CPU and the Intel NICs in the APU4 are over a decade old now.
Dang, I was actually interested until I saw the possible non standard USBc port instead of a flipping barrel jack. Give me PD or give me a barrel jack.
Yeah, I noticed that too. USB-C, but 12-19V really limits the choice of power connectors you can use. However, I guess any modern USB-C laptop psu will work.
