I'm looking at the Intel NUC with the Celeron 847 processor (DCCP847DYE) as a contender for my media centre on my boat, which will be powered by 12v/inverter/transformer. Here in Thailand it's a lot cheaper than the DC3217IYE.
What I'd like to know is how well the Celeron 847 would handle XBMC and its fan art menu system, and 1080 HD playback. Since I've been using a Samsung NC10 netbook with an Atom processor I suspect anything would be an improvement, but I'm trying to balance performance with power consumption. On paper the DCCP847DYE looks the ticket but I've no experience with the Celeron 847.
Appreciate any thoughts and/or personal experiences, either with the processor or the DCCP847DYE.
Cheers.
