Again, I get it, Chromebox is good value, however you seem to be taking the tack that anyone who picks a NUC over a Chromebox is being foolish with their money.
no, not at all. I'd argue that the ChromeBox is a better option vs the N2830 NUC, not the i3; my only reason for posting was just to clear up any misconceptions about the ChromeBox's capabilities, not to argue value.
Thanks, and I think you did a good job of doing that. I think the i3 vs Celeron is slightly more "future proof" although that might not matter at all with the trend for XBMC towards lighter/cheaper and less capable boxes like FireTV and Raspberry Pi where users don't care about full codec support and true 1080p playback capability.
