    I personally have been wanting to build a home router and media server using a flavor of Linux such as Ubuntu or Debian. Right now I only have space for one large desktop and little room for other computers in my workspace, I have owned a Raspberry Pi in the past, but haven't been very keen in what ARM has to offer vs a full blown X86 system and have never liked the idea of using Micro SD cards for running my system.
    64GB of eMMC storage is plenty of room to install a Linux system on and have lots of space leftover for additional apps and even some space for a media share, but since it includes USB 3.2 Gen 2 connectivity, I am sure in thanks to the Intel chipset included, that gives more than enough speed for a high end and spacious SSD for storing all sorts of media. I could use such a setup for storing videos recorded during adventures in the great outdoors!
    What I do like about the UP 7000 is with having up to a quad core Intel processor and up to 8GB of ram, is that if I do build a router out of one, is that I have some processing power left over to let it run Folding@Home or BOINC workloads to help out the medical and scientific community. I do like having the built in eMMC chips which has more durability in design over using a Micro SD chip reader, which I had issues with on my old Raspberry Pi. I also do like having a DC barrel jack for power over a USB-C port, they have just felt more reliable given how cheaply made a lot of phone accessories have been in recent years.

    I have, using an older SBC, but it might take me awhile to complete it.

    I build a Realsense ROS2 car robot powered by UP7000 board. Car can build a 3D-map of the space using a Realsense camera, then car can use the 3D-Map to navigate on it. This way user can direct robot to move from point A to point B. All actions are powered by UP7000 board and software package Robotics SDK. More details are here https://hackaday.io/project/197413-realsense-ros2-car-robot-powered-by-n100-intel-cpu
