I bought one in April '26 for two reasons: I needed a small computer to replace my old one that died, I didn't want to spend more than 600 euros, and the alternatives were not great. Second reason: at that time it was mis-priced on Amazon.IE and I bought it for like 550, one week after my purchase the price bumped to 750.

yeah i think the deterministic part (sending email, submit PR) is usually done by a normale script/software, agents are useful for summarizing text in a smart way, expecially if you need to aggregate text from multiple sources and it's natural language (not structured data)
