No. Too late now. Apollo Lake has been released.
First decide what functions / features you expect from a system. Then decide for the hardware. Don't waste your money on crap.

But if you want just silent around 100€ box - and not the latest more expensive model, will that do?
Any drawbacks compared to N3050 NUC for instance?

Why would a Raspberry Pi3 not be enough? It's even cheaper and also plays 1080p content. Just want to find out your use cases.

I've tested Rpi3 and it's not for me. You have to buy enclosure and psu for it, internal wifi is bad, and also not proper way to connect fast ssd/hdd. So it's not that cheap after all. I'm only looking for possible other device for my second setup.
Just ordered one of those for NAS-use, and after that realised that it could be as good Kodi-box as NUC / Chromebox. I just wanted to know whether I'm right or wrong.

I'm not going to use Windows, LibreElec is my choice.

It's fine for LE, it's fine for all h264 content out there, including 1080p60. It also does 4k@30p hevc 8 bit. Including all the HD passthrough audio stuff.
What it will never be able to do is HEVC-10 bit which is the standard and it will fully replace h264.
So if you get it cheap, get it.

Thank you fritsch.
Let's just hope there will be also a SILENT cheap Apollo Lake box available in the near future.
