That's still a PC. In one way or another I require keyboard, mouse, and 
monitor -- and the whole thing requires longish booting.

Plus, I still don't have a keyboard connected. (Call me old-fashioned, 
but IMO sound generator and keyboard are a non-divideable unit, even if 
I so far only have two hands and even if a keyboard takes up plenty of 
space -- I just prefer the instant playability and accessibility.)

In other words: I'd like to have that thing sitting in front of me, 
looking similar to a DX7, or better, SY77 in terms of accessibility.
