Interestingly, this new 7" ipad is really good value for money with regards to raw compute. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think it's possible to buy a new complete computer scoring 11k on geekbench for under $500. This one is $400, with an efficient fanless design and a nice screen as a bonus. If it could run linux, it could potentially be an interesting server solution. That's a first for apple I think, to be the cheapest available performance per dollar. Of course the big caveat is that it's locked into the ios ecosystem...
