It should be fine for minecraft and homework, but the quality won't be there and no real upgrade path.

It's actually low enough power draw that it won't suffocate and die immediately, but the entire platform, case & power supply are 100% proprietary. You'd probably get 2 years out of it before something fails from cooking itself in a case that was impressively designed to match the size AND airflow of a microwave - and that's with their equally terrifying coolers that literally hit 50+ dBA on an i5.

 

Oh and the components are just painfully cheap.

 

Perhaps look elsewhere.

this video is on the TG01-1160XT model I posted the TG01-2010 model but I'm sure they are quite similar.
