I wanted to mount/tape it to the back of the TV so you can't even see it. And use it as a download station for torrents & movies, browsing web, etc.

But review about it feeling sluggish turned me off.
I guess now they are much better than before?
I've had it for a couple days... I wouldn't call it snappy, but it's fine for browsing and video watching. For doing things like setting up windows for the first time, installing updates, scanning etc. Anything intensive is really slow. Especially if you're used to multitasking while doing these intensive things in the background. You won't be able to do that.

Browsing is fine, you wouldn't want to work on big spreadsheets, video or photo editing, etc, with it or anything though.

Think of it something like connecting your phone to a monitor and installing full Windows 10 on it. It can do anything you want, but the power just isn't there to do it like a 'real' desktop.

But for basic things most people do at home, it's totally fine. For under $200 how can I complain?

I'll be trying some Steam streaming today. Took over 5 minutes to install it
