My first thought was "I wonder how this would work as a small-factor game dev machine" and lo and behold, there is a clip of someone working in Godot running a debug version of their game. Very cool to see Valve market this as Linux PC rather than strictly gaming.
The point is there are better-value options if all you want is a SFF PC for development work. 16 GB is also pretty tight for development, come to think of it.
