Intel Atom Z8350 Mini PCs for Home Theater?

Besides the Intel's first party Compute Stick which has that "stick" form factor I am not a big fan of there seem to be hundreds of Z8350 Mini PCs off Amazon, none of which are from brands I recognize, none which I could find 3rd party reviews of and many of, and many of them having as much as 33-50% of their reviews showing up as fake when you put their Amazon listing through ReviewMeta's Amazon listing analyzer.

 

My question is if anyone here has an experience with Z8350 powered MiniPCs, how did they fare as media PC set-top boxes, which is my proposed application, and if there were any brands or models outside the direct from Intel hardware that you would recommend, preferably in a non-stick form factor.

If you want a personal opinion they are not powerful enough to use with a windows environment for a htpc.
