There's a definite use-case for people who may need to carry a varied
test/development environment around with them, but may not wish to carry a
notebook with them.

One could easily throw a Linux distribution with virtualization support on
there which could turn any spare PC into a test lab.

Apart from price, this would be great for me if I were still in college.
Rather than shelling into an always-on box in my dorm or apartment, I
could non-disruptively turn any kiosk PC into my preferred work
environment.
