I have one that I bought in 2013. Has fallen to the floor countless times, still works like day 1.

It is a killer combo!

I’m happily running an Intel NUC as TV computer since 2013, and it’s awesome for exactly the reasons you state. I invested in it when I realized how fully crap the “smart” features of my Samsung TV are. The ultimate controller for it is a combo keyboard and touchpad, I have the Logitech K400r.

The NUC is starting to show it’s age now with its 4th gen i5, and I’m in the process of replacing it with a mini PC with an Intel N100.

I think you commented on the wrong post Edit: nevermind, these are spam links that they bypass the spam filter by starting with some random text.

It’s so homegrown it even has it’s own instruction set architecture.

Edit: it is based on MIPS, but apparently the differences compared to it are minor

separate processor with hundreds of cores

Well, graphics rendering is very suited for parallelism. That’s why GPUs were invented.

Most other tasks are not. Most of the cores in a 128-core JPU would end up being unused. Also why JPU? It’s not like it’s significantly different from a normal CPU task.

Yes it does, I use it all the time

Solid explorer is great. One of the few apps I bought.
