    Looking to replace an Apple TV2, running Kodi.

    I currently have gigabit ethernet wired to the box , just looking to know if it will decode 1080P handy ( no stuttering ) with surround sound ?
    I havent had much experience with Celeron proces in a while.

    The spec is a Celeron J1800 with 2gb of RAM (upgradeable) , and just onboard Intel HD graphics.

    Its just a dell copy of the NUC, why not just buy a NUC?

    Looking at the reviews. It's unlikely. More suited to 720p video as at 1080p it works alright, but at 1080p 60fps it just dies.

    Fair points , is it the proc is the bottleneck or the intel graphics ?
    I do take the point on the NUC though.
