I'm loving these little N95 based Mini PCs. Here is a use case that surprised me:
Video compression.
The N95 is a big improvement over the previous generation Celeron and Pentium CPUs, but being realistic, it's no high-end CPU. However, they DO include the QuickSync video hardware compression and that hardware is apparently very good. I'm compressing entire movies using handbrake with QuickSync enabled and I was very pleasantly surprised at how quick this is.
How I can get this kind of performance on a machine that uses so little power is truly amazing.
