Here we go. Answer is very simple.

I'm glad I did test for myself both systems. Now I know:

both system gives exactly same end user experience.

User do not know what system he/she is in use or where he/she is. He/she 
even can boot same machine as a regular PC and experience is same again 
- same OS, same programs.

Both systems use two nics, NAT, NFS, passwd/NIS, OpenLDAP etc.

Machine is Atom/ION, monitor is FullHD.
Here are some screenshots.

SMPlayer (FullHD, NVidia, VDPAU).

Skype, Cheese, FF/Flash (Youtube), GC/HTNL5 (Vimeo)... everything runs 
just fine on both systems.
