For the profit choosing the cheapest Intel Atom available probably make sense, but the reality is that this CPU seems slow [1]. The Atom CPU only supports 2 GB RAM maximum, it's strange that it's advertised supporting up to 8 GB RAM. This CPU also categorized as mobile, given that most of the users probably use the PC+keyboard as PC replacement perhaps it's a poor choice of CPU.

Having said that I really think this PC+keyboard form factor is excellent for educational setup where the students can use with their own or lab monitor. It can also work with external portable screen [2].

The good choice of CPU for this low cost PC+keyboard would be the latest Celeron G9000. The Celeron CPU cost double around USD40 but for the price you get dual-core 3.4 GHz speed with up to 128 GB RAM supporting 4K display [3]. If someone can sell this PC+keyboard with this Celeron CPU with 64GB RAM at USD150 price it will probably sell like hot cakes. Perhaps a good opportunity for a crowd supply type of development.
