There are a lot of workers out there in the world that need a lightweight way to enter data into forms while they are in the field. They may be interacting with clients / customers in a living room, front porch, etc. Likewise, the lidar features are handy for people like real estate agents who need a cheap / easy way to map spaces in houses / buildings (and I'm sure there are tradespeople, etc who need similar).

There are lots of types of workers who basically look up stuff on the web, respond to email, and maybe answer some kind of chat program. A full on laptop is really more than they need and probably has worse battery life.
