If you look, you'll find quite a few of them. The general consensus is that they make a great frontend as long as that's as far as you want to go with them. If you want to do something that requires the CPU and can't take advantage of hardware acceleration (e.g. full screen flash video playback) it's a bit underpowered. Then again, if your comparison point is the MVP, it's practically a supercomputer.
