Not enough performance at the listed price but i paid much less. This compute stick device graphics subsystem (intel HD 515) will drive my 2k Asus MX25A display to 2160x1440 at 59hz which is slightly below the 2560 that the display supports without bogging down the rest of the system. When used on a previous Asus monitor videos played had motion artifacts. but I dont see that now it could of been a driver issue. Somewhere I read it could do 4k video but i doubt the processor and wifi could handle it without glitches.
The Intel M3-6y30 with 64 gig storage and 4 gig ram is enough for me to play standard def Youtube while at the same time using WORD and having several CHROME tabs open to view static web pages and 500 page pdf files. however RAM usage will be at 82% by this point but still responsive.
If you open more than one content / ad animation rich web page the device will bog down and can get laggy when doing this in Microsoft's Edge browser.
the device is fan cooled and can get noisy when pushed to do too much. my particular device came with Windows 10 Professional which appears to have all features such as bitlocker working normally.
The wifi is strong enough for 1080p streaming tested to a bedroom about 15-20 feet from the living room router
