Pros & Cons
Pros
Gb of ram and 32gb of storage is adequate for most applications. Adding additional storage, such as an ssd drive or 2. Gb of ram is highly recommended. Libreelec uses about 400mb of ram, so the 7500mb left over are used as a video cache to eliminate b... Read More
Even considering the cpu is a middleweight it does a remarkable level of tasks and it does them well. My i5 model is faster, but not monumentally so in everyday internet browsing with a few tabs open. Surfing, no lag.
Kodi is snappy once it gets started, navigation is quick and playback starts immediately. Full hd is my intended purpose and this * along smoothly.
It even comes with a bracket for mounting it on the back of a display if you want an all-in-one type of system. You can easily switch from one to another and monitor several on one screen without having to toggle them. Using hdmi for 1080p steaming.
Cons
It requires a windows pe bootable usb, which can only be created with a windows 10 machine. For a basic desktop it works well, but there are significantly cheaper options.
It is not powerful enough to play 4k videos without shudder/stutter with every codec. Even mouse movement at 4k resolution is choppy and very annoying.
Highlights

The build quality of this little pc seems good and it runs quiet.
Can be wall mounted discretely behind a monitor with the included bracket.
