The one thing they missed out on is adding built in BlueTooth, WiFi and GPS, and they might find lots of people using it for car computers. Which any Android device should have those by default.
 
intresting.
i am planning a simmilar machine, a PC, with a touch screen that is more portable then a standard PC but less portable then a tablet or laptop due to its thickness (Battery/Power supply would be the reason.)
running Android of course, 4.0 probably.
with a WAY better spec, but power consumtion is too big and i need to reduce that.


only advantage i see in that "49$ PC" is its size and price, altough it doesn't include a screen and it would likely start to slow down and lag after few 10s of tabs running.
and bigger screen means more pixels to handle, just a thought.
 
I'm interested in getting this as a second PC option!
Mainly to use internet to surf the web and videos without using a full powered computer for those simple tasks.

It would be nice having an Android PC system too and it's very cheap! seems like a decent option to go for

It does look like it would be fun to play with.

almost like taking apart a tablet with a busted screen and making it use-able again type of fun.
