This device is among the best options for streaming to your television.  I was an early adopter of home theater PCs and set-top streaming boxes.  I owned a Gen 1 Apple TV and Gen 1 Roku.  I have built Windows- and OpenElec-based HTPCs.  I bought this as a gift and installed Kodi and Netflix.  I think that it is better than the Dell Inspiron 3050 (which costs about $170).  Windows was well-configured (e.g., no bloatware).  However, there was a glitch with autoupdate being disabled.  It does exactly what most people would expect this thing to do - stream video.  It boots fast, does not hang when doing very light multitasking (e.g., internet browser and Kodi).  In fact, I can't think of a better way for someone to get started with Kodi than by buying this device.  For most HTPC functions, it performs better than my old i7-based HTPC because it has an SSD.
