Hello,
Poor form to ask the same question twice but i noticed this thread is well populated and i'm hoping to get an answer quickly as there is limited stock in the UK.
I have an HTPC (er1401) but it is wheezing and stuttering when playing HD content. I am interested in a Haswell Nuc,
I would like to install windows 7 to maximise my streaming options, play some steam indie games (FTL, spelunky etc) and mess around with a bit of emulation. I'm not concerned about 4k streaming isn't on my agenda for now but it would be nice to know it's a option.
With these requirements in mind, would the i3 version suffice or is it worth shelling out for the i5?
Thanks in advance.
