That’s one hell of a features list for a board less than 7 inches square!
The specs list above says that the mPCIe WiFi card shares a slot with the mSATA, but looking at the board itself they have two separate connectors. The features before that list the port as usable. I’ll test this later on. (A report from the future! You can use both the mSATA for a SSD and the PCIe for the WiFi module at the same time. I have tested)
Other than that there are more features here than on most desktop boards, though you pay for the small size in that there are only two ram slots and one PCIe slot. That PCIe slot is a full 16x PCIe 3.0 slot though!
Let’s take a look at the board itself.
