Hi Nicety,

I was thinking whether to buy Himedia 5 Pro or a mini PC with intel celeron N3550. Both can play videos (VLC player for PC), Kodi (for PC and android) and even android apps (through bluestacks). Both costs about the same and about the same size.

At the moment I am leaning towards a mini PC because I can carry the mini PC to a hotel or friend's place and hook up to the TV or monitor to access my emails, do work on MS Office or make a powerpoint presentation.

I would also like to watch videos from my hard disk and streaming videos of CNN news, National Geographic and sports.

Which do you think will make a better choice - Himedia 5 Pro or mini PC with Intel celeron N3550?

Is the Himedia's HiSilicon Hi3798C V200 (Cortext A53) quad-core 64-bit processor better than the Intel N3550 in terms of playing and streaming video?

What are the advantages and disadvantages between the two?

Your feedback will help me to make an informed decision in choosing between the two.

Thank you Nicety and AVfan for the explanation. I have a better idea now between a mini pc and media player.
