Nice one! It's cheap, it's not bad, and it's very, very small.
And another thing. Was it me, or the man on the video said it costs 423$?

I wonder if it's better/more powerful than a modded xbox.

It's not a gaming machine... Does xbox have functions like text editor and alikes?

Natively, no -- but there are xbox mods turning the gaming hardware into a personal PC.
