Two observations

Posted by fmak on January 5, 2017 at 07:02:00:
1. Look up the teardown on Google. There is a fan and it is not clear how noisy this will be with an i7.

2. Intel Grpahics is not the best if you wish to do hidef video. A destop with a good card will still be my own choice. Fanless miniumum 2GB DDR5 will just do for visuals.

If you just use it for audio, you can go for a fanless Intel like the Zotac Z boxes which are much cheaper and you can buy 2, with one as backup. You can have 16G if you must, and with all the Graphics interfaces.
