It looks good to me. It is missing AV1 encode (as with most miniPCs right now) but otherwise you'll get good transcode support with Quicksync. I would like a few more cores but at this price point it isn't a bad deal. You'll get much better performance than a N100 miniPC at a similar value with the tradeoff of a little more power usage. I have a N95 MiniPC doing acting as a server and that's been enough for me; this is even better. As for a NAS, I think the connectivity is an issue as it only has 1x sata port, room for only a 2.5 drive and the USB connectivity you see in the pictures. This would make a better server than a NAS.

I have two DDR4 SODIMMs lying around and a few SATA ssds lying around and was considering getting this. Problem is that I already have 2 miniPCs (N95s) and don't see the need for another right now.

Seems like a great cost effective deal for a emulation machine. If you have spare drive and ram lying around.
Good all the way to switch.

Way more powerful than those n150 twin lake machines.
