Now that my wife is trying to do some things with it, I am kind of wishing I'd bought the Android version... She mainly uses it to update the company facebook page and it is SLOOOOOOOOOOOOW and crashes a lot. This is with Edge, the supposedly super lightweight browser too

The WWE app is quite laggy, so I have to use the website.

Netflix is still fine

Maybe I'll look into some performance optimizations, but this is exactly what I was trying to avoid...

While it's been a few years, I remember using the ASUS X205TA and it was surprisingly very fast for what it was.

Z3735, 2GB RAM, 32GB eMMC

Specs are actually worse than your Minix.

Yeah I am pretty disappointed by its speed in this specific scenario. It could be a browser thing or even a Facebook thing. I just assumed Edge was best for slower PC's since it is essentially designed for tablet use, but maybe not

the Hades Canyon NUC with Vega graphics can game 1080p60 if anyone cares...could probably mine a decent portion if not all of the investment back, too

Performance seems in the ballpark of a 1050TI.

Pretty impressive for a small package.

Link from a non shitty site

Benchmarks

Seems good enough for 1080p but not with really high settings
