U can buy Ant S5 + raspberry pi for little more
It's got a couple of things going for it in that it's a full node, it's got a 50gh/s chip on it, and it's all integrated through some API's and runs at 5V @3A. You get very small amounts of satoshi every few minutes if you mine with it (it looked like ~200 per minute) and when you run through the setup, you get 20,000 satoshi as an "award". From a developers standpoint, it reminds me of one of those development reference boards as a test kit. Whether it's worth the $400 or not I think is more of a question of what does it do for you as an individual that you don't want to spend the time to hack together a similar solution. You've asked a great question because if you buy this as a miner, it's not worth it as an investment. However, if you buy it with the intent of using it to do some development projects, I think it's a good starter kit and closer in value.
