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 :P 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! 😀

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.

The bad point for this PC is the second hand mini PC, for less or the same price you can found Intel or Apple from the last Intel Mac Mini (the one with mem on sodim up to 32g and can run windows and other open OSes), both with i3 and 630 graphic... The very good point is it's energy friendly conception... sadly we can't have it there (no delivery in our country)

No AliExpress, no Amazon and mostly no eBay... They don't send there (they have to pay all taxes themself: custom import/export, EU,... ) without reporting them on final user. On other hand we have most of the time less expensive in shop as taxes free 🙂 . But a bit boring when you need something special.
