It seems like with 2 USB ports, it would be fairly simple to add a portable USB drive for extra storage if needed. That being said, most people are going to use these for simple internetting and streaming.

I usually don't care about aesthetics, but I am glad that these look better than Intel's efforts.

As much as I know gpu should be around 2.2x faster. The rest is not a step up from previous generation & there are even some steps back in dynamic frequency handling. I don't believe it will be a big step up neither in power consumption nor heat dispersion. I am certain it won't be capable to handle Win 10 satisfying (Linux probably culd).

I may have found my HTPC for music! Since I use a USB DAC, I just plug one of these into it, with a 128 GB thumb drive in the other slot.
