This means it will have no problems with HD 720p and 1080p, but will not be able to play the new 4K Ultra HD.

The ACEPC T9 is a Mini PC with some good basic hardware depending on what it will be used for.

It will have no problems at basic task such as streaming videos from Netflix or with Kodi.

It wont be able to play the new 4K videos but will play HD 1080p videos fine which most all videos currently are.

The WiFi results were good at 109Mbps Download and 13Mbps Upload which will stream videos fine over the air.

Don’t expect much with game play with the ability to play at best older 1990’s and early 2000’s games.

There is better units such as the Beelink AP34 of course it also cost more.
