Review Update
So I hooked the BT4 to a 1080p only display and unfortunately, YouTube and local file playback appears the same..For normal H.264 files, it'll play up to 4K with no issues... Only HEVC/H.265 files appears to pose an issue. I suspect the processor isn't capable of handling that higher level of compression. Good thing is, most public media files are in the h.264 format.. So should be good for that..
I got a different brand mini PC with same x5-Z8500 3 or 4 years ago. 1080p hevc should be ok. But even going around Windows feels laggy.So I hooked the BT4 to a 1080p only display and unfortunately, YouTube and local file playback appears the same..For normal H.264 files, it'll play up to 4K with no issues...

Use for about a year then ditch it for something much more powerful.
