wait wait wait. I was going to start looking at exactly that and was trying to figure out how big of a line lump it's got. Looks a lot like a 18V/1.2A but you'd want to know, you know? So then I checked their page and they've got fuckall for specs. So I got on the Internetz and Holy Shit it's just a fuckin' RaspPi.

I'll let the Engadget comments speak for me here, which should communicate my level of scorn:

    Raspberry Pi: $35

    128 GB Class 10 SD Card: $70

    USB WiFi Adapter: $10

    Micro USB Power Supply: $8

    ------------------------------

    Total: $123

    This Device: $399

    ??????????

    I mean, OK they have a special chip and a fan bolted on there. But really?
