[QUOTE="Digsy, post: 1247925, member: 163222"] So how can I find out precisely what each CPU can / can't do? I keep finding conflicting info on the web. I found this on [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Quick_Sync_Video']another wiki page[/URL] which still suggests that the NUC is more powerful than my main HTPC (although as you say nothing about H265 decoding), but if my main system cannot do it, then the NUC won't have to. [ATTACH]198488[/ATTACH] All I really want to do is: Handle live and recorded TV over satellite from my MP2 server (SD and HD). Play ripped SD DVDs Play blu-rays (physical discs - main system only). I really don't want / need a high end system for what I want to do. I can appreciate future-proofing, but things move so fast with PC hardware that this it is really difficult to future proof. If you ignore the whole 4K / h265 thing, will the N3050 NUC be OK? [/QUOTE]
