Awesome little work machine for school work/workstation tasks can even play some retro games on steam and watch full 1080p videos with little to no buffer
This worked extremely well for 3 months running a family calendar on a kitchen computer hooked to an exchange account.
I installed CrashPlan on it, and it's working just fine for backing up my mom's computer over the internet.
Netfix, HULU, KODI, SMB, Nest, network streaming, Remote Desktop all work just like my desktop
These guys work decently well, they are understandably slow
It is a great way to add the web to any TV, or create a truly portable custom Windows environment that can be accessed through any HDMI display.
Very cool to stream games from xbox one or watch netflix but the only way to watch youtube is to use microsoft edge or internet explorer because google chrome takes up too much memory !
For now I have taken time off from trying to navigate the tangle of directions leading to the proper way to get the sound to work.
For the money this was a great little purchase and a simple way to add computer perfprmance to my smart TV
Encrypted storage is a nice way to protect your data, given how easy these compute-stick-type computers are to lose or have stolen.
not as fast as I thought.good for streaming but not perfect.
I bought this specifically to use with an online cycling program and then found it wouldn't work as it's 32 Bit.

Excellent connectivity to my in-house server and iTunes shares as well as to all the media sites we like to stream, especially Netflix and NFL GamePass
This is a nifty little gadget, but it doesn't work as it should, until you fix it.
I currently have both but will return the Lenovo for its poor Wi-Fi performance.(see my review of the Lenovo for details)This Intel also has 2 USB ports that work well and seem to be powered sufficiently to support an additional Wi-Fi device and wireless keyboard/mouse combo
The performance is good enough for basic computing tasks, such as web browsing, streaming video and playing older games where this meets the system requirements.
For such slow performance, I had expected this device to be at least cool and silent, but even that's not true
Low power use but the performance is good enough to handle HD streaming video without stuttering and I don't worry about leaving it on all the time
, it works!Although the processor is fine (a quad core Intel Atom unit), it only comes with 2GB of RAM, and this does tend to hamper performance
I like it so far, I've been using it for a couple days now, the only real complaint is YouTube, videos lag a bit, idk about other videos though I've only tried YouTube everything else is good, fast for browsing web normally
not as fast as I thought.good for streaming but not perfect.

It is a bit slow and laggy which I think is due to the lack of RAM (only 2 GB).
So as far as Windows was concerned, everything was fine
I would give it a 5 star rating except I really don't like Windows 10 very much (but I guess that isn't Intel's fault)
not as fast as I thought.good for streaming but not perfect.

This is one of the reasons I don't like Windows 10: they killed off a perfectly good Media Center Application so that they could sell this same functionality on the Xbox
