The device for sale is the same that I use as a home machine. You can use the device for data analysis, SQL testing, etc. I love these boxes, especially if you travel with them much. Be sure to grab a number of ""accessories"" though. Get a keyboard, mouse, and docking station from Microsoft. Also get a micro display port to video connector adapter. Mine has three adapters on one end (HDMI, VGA, & DVI). Also get a USB adapter with multiple USB jacks and a Network cable jack in one.
