    If you can install Google OS on it then it could be a mobile gaming box and 4k TV box

    I wouldn't call it a gaming box unless you're planning on playing roughly 2006-era games, as that's about the level of gaming performance it will offer.

    So Runescape Classic, WOW maybe,  Lineage 2 or even DAOC on a freeshard?

    Since many are returning to the old school, this might be right up their alley.

    I would love to see some kind of comparison of this wee computer to the ones NASA had for the moon landing. More powerful, in whatever way you measure? And if so, by how much?

    WoW system requirements have greatly increased over the years.  This box is significantly below today's minimum requirement on the CPU and vastly below it on the GPU.  The other games you list should be fine.  A lot of simple games that are intended to run on anything would be fine, too.

    Most things in classical mechanics don't require very much computational power.  Calculating rocket trajectories to sufficient precision for a moon landing certainly doesn't, for example.
