Excellent price for a Brix plus 1TB drive and 4GB ram, I saw this a few days ago when looking around for alternative to fire stick. Great price for a complete Brix. Would make great HTPC or possible nas soultion/both. I understand some find specs hard to understand. It is a fully functional computer just without an OS. This comes with a 1TB drive and 4GB ram as a kit, please don't link barebones units saying 'look its cheaper'.
I think some people are missing the point about hot deals, if you keep slagging people off about how good something is then we wont have any hot deals, this is for a guy that wants a brix, not some guy that wants an old laptop, or a lame android chromebook with a windup on the back.
Pardon me, I am curious why would you want your dad to go under the tv?
Great deal.

As an alternative to fire stick, he doesnt have a home computer either, so this acts as great HTPC.

I'd have thought it's rather an important spec to mention.

You fixed up your wording and the joke doesnt make sense now. ;-)
BTW might it do doubleduty as a nas server.
I better look at specs.

I think that because it's a low end CPU they don't want to make a big deal out of it... they don't even call it a Celeron N3150 on the Gigabyte's site as Celeron is usually assoicated as crap even though that's not always the case.
It's not terrible for what it's intended to do but it won't be any better than a 8 year old Core2duo CPU on many tasks... but probably fine for video playback and simple chores and it's very low power consumption,.

3150 is like 6w , AES NI too.. it's a shame it doesn't have dual LAN ports.

Could you not just buy a cheap gigabit switch or usb 3 ethernet adapter, a 5 port probaly stack nicely with this. You could make a minature server cabniet.

Nice little PC to stick under a tv or something similar - heat!

Is! Great value considering the cost of ram and drive.
