This mobo includes USB3, DDR3, SATA III, and a more powerful processor than an Intel Atom. These features make this mini ITX mainboard a versatile and much more powerful platform and at a cheaper price. The addition of a x4 PCI-E slot with a x16 form factor means you can include a more powerful discrete graphics card in case you want to play games.

The AMD E-350 1.6 GHz dual-core is app. 20% faster than the older Atom N330, the HD6310 GPU is also faster than the ION GPU, allthough gaming is out of the question. GIGABYTE has managed to create a nice motherboard with an impressive amount of features if you consider its small size. There's no USB3.0 support however.
