They're really handicapping this with just 2GB RAM. Other specs seem quite good, the three ethernet ports would have made it great for a router, though it could use more USB ports to allow it to operate as a NAS and/or printer connection, but the low memory would likely hamper it.

2 GB is plenty if you want to run jt as a firewall/router/server.

4G RAM will be part of the next batch they say. Maybe 8G as the next option.
