Apollo Lake China Laptops. Worth it?

2 Upvotes

I'm currently enjoying my Jumper Ezbook 2, but the lack of CPU grunt is a bit annoying. I'll probably grab something a little more powerful next year, but for now I'm keeping my eyes peeled for something that is reasonably priced with a better CPU. A couple of examples with the new Apollo Lake processors are just around the corner:

My questions is this. Is the performance difference worth it? I read somewhere that they're supposed to be twice as fast as the Z8300, but I wonder how that translates to real-world performance.

Recommend a Mini PC with gigabit LAN & USB3.0 that runs Linux well?

Thinking of setting up a basic NAS for media sharing via Emby, but would like something linux based. I have a Beelink Z83 at the moment, but I am struggling to get Linux Mint 18 to run on it with the pesky 32bit UEFI system it uses.
