Since you already owned it, want to ask that do you know if that was due to the NIC card they used or the antenna placement internally? Asking this because Network card issue is a very easy replacement but if they have messed up the antenna position then it may be a big challenge.

It was the antenna placement. Best solution is to buy usb network wireless plug.

Nope. Its just the wifi connection and I refused to buy a wireless network adapter so I returned it.

If you don't need to transcode, the CPU doesn't matter. If you do, Intel is better currently as AMD APUs aren't officially supported.

Plex needs to get off their asses and support AMD properly already!

Music, sound. How is the audio on this? With only a 3.5 mm audio jack, i assume this is not any good for quality sound (flac/lossles)?
