How would this do for a HTPC?

Depends on what the HTPC app is doing (eg, is it transcoding), and what OS the device is running. Since it's running Windows 8.1 by default (not surprised due to the inclusion of the controller), then it should work rather well.

 

The Core i3 4130T is a low power CPU. It's good for direct or network share access, but may not due great at transcoding.
