Hello. I'm looking to buy a minipc for my bedroom to watch online streams and smb. I am between 2 (or 5) giada minipc. The 1st one is the i53 with an i3 and intel hd 4000 and 4gb ram and the 2nd (much cheaper) a giada i30 with an Atom D525 and an nVIDIA ION GT218. Also some other devices I can find localy about the same price as the i30 are an Intel Celeron 877+intel hd (my guess and from a bit of googling it's a HD 2000) and an intel Atom D510+intel hd 3150. Besides the i3 minipc the other 3 are alot cheaper. As I said I want to use xbmc for internet stream (no netflix) from 1channel icefilms etc and some smb streams divx ,h264 , mkvs (some with 20000 bit rate). I want a minipc that can handle everything I throw in it. If I can achieve that with the low priced ones I will be happy. Please advise. Thanks in advance.
Ps: my htpc in my living room for my is a dual core pc with an ati, tv tuner etc etc. My htpc in my bedroom was the xbox1 that lasted till a few days ago. It forced me (the xbox) to do a dual encoding my movies h264 and hi bitrate for the projector and divx for the xbox,
