It has many possibilities ( plus you can connect a monitor ) in terms of USBs . I believe the major issue here is to decide for the Wireless USB. This can be a limiting issue as high speed wireless modes (11.ac) could be desired. So in that case consider cubox or the Huming Board (from the http://www.solid-run.com/products/) . I would opt for 1G connectivity option and a PCI -express -Gen 2 boxes..They run android. Cheers, Dimitris -- Dimitrios K.
