Review: GEEKOM MiniAir 11 (Celeron N5095) mini PC
There is small, smaller, and even skinny. Geekom has released the new MiniAir 11. A low-power PC that is so compact that you can install it beneath your monitor or even fit it in the palm of your hands. A PC featuring Gigabit Ethernet connectors, AC 7265 WIFI, Bluetooth USB3, HDMI, DisplayPort, an NVMe SSD, and 8GB DRAM, all upgradable of course

I really don't like "smart" TV's, which work like two years and then stuff stops working because they don't update the software. I would prefer to have a computer with updates next to the TV and use that instead.
So 1080p Youtube works fine. That's the main thing (for me). Been thinking about getting a cheap mini PC next to the TV. Likely would buy a new TV at the same time (atm I have 42" 720p plasma, about 15years old).

That's what I did and for the same reason. I use little boxes from B-max and they are rather inexpensive.

And you can install adblock on pc so no more youtube ad. It's a win.

I love these little things, especially at this price!
Chuck in 32Gb ram and you have one of those little home servers you tuck away somewhere and can run forever without noticing any major energy costs
Very interesting this one, might actually get one to replace one of my older Westmere based xeon workstation/server - it's noisy, hot and eats quite a bit of power for what it does - this little fella seems like a good replacement for that thing!
