I've got a Lenovo M720q running as my main server in my home and it's more than powerful enough for anything I could be doing right now. However, I also have a Le Potato lying around that I'd like to do something with. Any suggestions?

Single board computers have GPIO and interfaces like SPI and I2C. They also tend to have lower power consumption and can run from 5 volts. If you want to interface with low level hardware or run from batteries, the SBC will usually be the better choice.
