This mini pc is very suitable for home HTPC and NAS in the living room. It is open-box ready with Windows 10, so I only spent 10 minites to configure it, and it is then ready to use. I connected to my TV at the living room, and the tiny box is just under the TV and very difficult to notice. I used it everyday recently to play movies. I plan to install a PLEX server on it and configure it as my living room HTPC.
The good point for this product include:
1. It is fanless thus zero noise. Very suitbale to be put besides a TV.
2. It has a emtpy 2.5inch drive bay, as long as four USB3.0 ports. One can mount enough storages onto it and configure it into a NAS.
3. It is built-in with Windows 10, but you can install any OS that you like (e.g. FreeNAS) into it.
Of course it is not perfect. My complains include:
1. It only has 4GB of memory and cannot be expanded with sodimm memory.
2. The CPU is Atom which is too weak. But to be frank, its CPU and Intel HD GPU is already powerful enough for HTPC and NAS purpose. The GPU can decode 1080p videos without issue.
A very useful minipc (nuc) that suitable for living room HTPC and NAS
