After using this for about 9 months, here is a quick breakdown of what I think about the stick.  It is acceptable at converting your non-SmartTV into a windows machine.Quick Summary: boxes very well at its weight class for a $80 machine.  If you know the limitations (Processor + RAM + NAND are all very slow) and be sure to stay under that, it can do a surprisingly large amount of work.  Won't replace PCs for any user unless it is literally the first computer you purchase for someone who has never used a computer before, but certainly a valuable addition to a home network.The video performance leaves a bit to be desired, but I suppose when you get a 3-5 watt (thanks Kill A Watt) computer that is to be expected.  I found that streaming 1080p was a struggle for the Atom processor if the stream is not compressed significantly: Youtube works well unless it tries to do 60 FPS - but in Chrome you can find an add-on that disables faster framerates, which makes 1080p highly watchable.  For Amazon Prime Video, the Atom processor struggles significantly.  720p or less is probably about the best you can expect without severe hitching.  I haven't tried Netflix, but I fear that it would have similar problems.The network performance is excellent, easily getting enough bandwidth to stream anything that the processor/RAM/NAND is capable of doing.For non-video, the stick is probably acceptable at word-processing, though the spare space on the flash that it comes with leaves a lot to be desired.  Thankfully, the micro-SD slot can expand that.  I also tried a VNC client to control other windows machines on my network, and this works very well.  The stick is always pretty responsive.If you try to do games on it, there is a fairly significant limitation.  I would say that you could stream to it on the network, but then you have terrible connectivity problems.  Stick to other solutions if you want to do anything like that.
