I think the real power of Pine is 2,5W consumption. I learned about Pine from dutch power-efficient computer forum, where people are trying to get a home Nas or server to work under 20w. Electricity in the Netherlands cost 2x what it is in US, so there is a big number of people looking for savvy HW. Pine seems like a good candidate for home server, once there is some solutions to connect multiple storage devices and efficient networking. So a good option to build something like 8Watt PC
