Anything yuo can do with a normal pc, that's all it is.

It'll play dvd's and blurays if it's got a dvd or bluray player.

Yes, as of a few days.
Dont get me wrong, I loved my media pc setup at the time, but theres no chance id go back.
Theres no messing around with a proper media streamer, no drivers, no windows update each week, no need to reboot, no video stuttering

Its certainly the way forward.
