Still wonderkind whether I should buy kaby lake or Apollo lake.
Biggest requirement that it is absolutely silent, thus preferably fanless. None of the NUC s seem to offer that.
Apollo lake does offer that and plays every content now quite ok (if you only need hdmi 1.4 thus skipping the hdmi dp converter).
However I'm also aware of the fact that kaby lake will be more future proof, not in the last place because it has full pcie 16x slot so I can throw in a newer gpu when the system is aging. And also more horsepower when newest codecs need to be decoded in sw.
Hmmmmmm..... choices choices choices....
