Please I need a little help to choose between Intel nuc i3 vs celeron

my video 720p and 1080p files size between 3 gig and 6 gig
No 3d or Bluray
Play from synology nas
I have the Celeron NUC (n2820) with 4GB of ram, and it runs extremely well for the file formats you want to watch, as well as Blurays - not a problem at all. I have never noticed much heating, but I don't pay much attention to it either. All I know is that the CPU usage is at max 20% during playback except for Blurays for which it is closer to 50% load but still 100% fine. I have never tried 3D, I read that it depends on the type of 3D file.
I use Openelec, and can also boot to win 8.1 and Ubuntu if I want to. Openelec is very fast, the other two run fine, they would probably be a little more snappier if I had a SSD instead of a HDD. I also access videos on my Synology NAS.
Sounds like going for the Celeron perfectly suits your needs and would be a wise financial choice as well.
Cool
Thank you for your reply
You helped me a lot
Have a nice day
