Even 4GB on Win10 is going to be a not-so-great experience. If they offered one that had 8, that would be useful - but only if you had a use case for a Win10 machine in a RPi form factor. I can see this having a use in light commercial embedded equipment, like signage kiosks and the like, but desktop is going to be a dog. I would bet that trying to use a modern browser on this would be an interesting experience.
And yes, Micro HDMI is Satan's handiwork and whomever thought of that has a special place in hell where they're trying to forever hook up equipment but have nothing but the last-gen version of that particular cable available.

Yes, but it's not like I'm going to install a full blown win10, rather a custom minimal debian based i3wm distro, with thunar for the sake of accuracy
That's just how I like shits to be in the end, nothing's faster to switch from one task to the next, no BS in between https://youtu.be/AzWEu4IWmnY?t=55
But I digress
Main advantage I see when it comes to this one and the rest, is that it's a "real" computer, small, but "complete", as in there's no such thing as "you can't use mass storage bigger than X" type of stuffs.... And that alone, is the one thing worth considering when it comes to it, IMO
It's perfect for a "media center". As in playing movies up to 1080p, and emulators up to (maybe) playstation1. This one last bit (PS1/PSX) needs to be verified though, but there are ways
Also, if it can run zdoom decently... I say it's fucken great for a media center at that price
Yeah, if you're going to put a real x86 Linux distro on it, it should work well enough.
Main strong point of those things is the absence of noise, as in fans. Silence is something I really appreciate. I'm totally willing to sacrifice raw computation power over silence, for a media center
Now I suspect this one might need a cooling fan... Which would be unfortunate
From that perspective I like the way the mint box mini 2 is designed https://pic8.co/sh/GGCt5D.jpeg
That giant block of metal as passive cooling is just the perfect alternative to cooling fans IMO, also it's a great pen carrier
