Cons
Con HDMI has some problems on Linux
The HDMI port has some issues on Linux, fortunately these issues are not present when using Android.
Con No SATA port
Con Official images are not full distributions
Both Android and Ubuntu images lack some useful software which would be installed out-of-the-box for most Android or Linux devices. For example in Android it lacks the Play Store app and other Google apps. These can of course be installed but need to be done so manually (at least the Play Store) by flashing them from the SD card.
