While I find this quite exciting from a pure developer perspective, it also reminded me that I haven't had anything I'd call a Desktop box in quite some time.

If I were to ever get a Desktop machine again, it would have to be cheap and light, definitely don't want anything clunky, otherwise a laptop seems preferable to me. There do not seem that many products that would fill that gap, Intel's NUC is too expensive, the Raspberry PI too slow. Apple's mini Mac seems like the best proposition in this segment.

I wonder if the Parallela could not only be used as development center, but also as a Desktop computer? It won't run any fancy games, that's clear, but it may actually be usable for browsing, watching videos and office duties.
