Since MorphOS is still not available for EFIKA and I often get the question what the are the pros and cons of EFIKA I will write some short summary:
+ small size, can fit nearly everywhere
+ low power, takes about 10 watt for a full system
+ low cost, for $99 you can't get something similar
- can handle only 1 IDE drive, no SATA ports
- only USB1.1, no USB2.0 ports
- no second Ethernet port, useful for router or proxy
- RAM is soldered, not expandable via socket
- no standard form factor, you can't use default cases
- no onboard gfx
EFIKA is a nice system for many fields but lacks some features which makes it uninteresting for a small and light desktop computer.
