now wouldn’t this be a nice firewall board?
or with SATA-PCI-Adapter a nice fileserver board?

Keep in mind that these CPU’s only supports PCI Express 2.0, so getting a really fast SSD for these wouldn’t make sense for the M.2 slot. Still keeps things very low profile even with a SATA M.2 drive.

I think Apollo Lake and Kaby Lake – like Sky Lake – currently need an additional DP1.2 to HDMI 2.0 converter chip, rather than the SoC itself handling HDMI 2.0 duties.
