I occasionally look at Dells, and whenever I find one that is close to what I need they totally f*** it up by e.g. omitting proper pgup/pgdn/home/end keys. HP so far hasn't let me down once I moved to their enterprise line of laptops 5 years ago, so I'm gonna stick with HP for a while.
I was too lazy to do a full on research project on which TV box to buy, so I just went with Apple TV 3, pretty happy so far, except that I lose the remote all the time because it's so tiny. But I've seen tiny PC boxes intended for the living room that come with a remote control included.

Maybe it's because of the 17" monitor, but I've a full-size keyboard that feels like a real keyboard. I use an external wireless mouse but the touch-pad seems to accommodate several style (buttons above, buttons below, finger tap). Hold's two HDD's and you can configure for RAID 1.
I don't own any iProducts and, although I'll use whatever I get for media, it's supposed to be a PC and not just a TV Box. Not going to happen with an iToy. I actually have a bedroom media box, Patriot's "Home Box Office" - place essentially everything you can plug into one of its USB ports. It's actually a small Linux box but I've not messed with accessing the O/S as that's not why I got it. Just good clean audio and video support without any leanings.
That QNap box lists for $400 - My plan is to be under $200, and very possibly around $100 (hence the look to refurbished desktops).

Allow me to endorse your preference for Dell products. Also I suggest he looks at the Inspiron range of Dell laptops.

I got a nice HP Envy (i7) about 6 months ago. Great machine so far! It replaced a 6.5 yo Gateway (which still works great. That Gateway replaced my very first Gateway laptop from fall 2000 which was my college graduation gift from my parents. I got the 16 year old laptop out just the other day to see if it would still boot into Windows. It did, but then quickly blue screened. The Ubuntu on it still works fine however, but I'll never use it for anything. I suppose I could hook it up for SETI!

I hope you intend to run Windows 10[^] on that Skylake CPU.

The main clue was the colour: #007FFF, which is halfway from Blue to Cyan: Azure!

Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

The colour gave it away
A good one, two hints with only one word!
