my g3930 runs plex just fine, even 4k videos, it has 10bit HEVC hardware encoding on the chip, so its a really decent celeron lol

You can't compare a 7 year old Celeron to those from 2-3 years ago.
Modern Celerons are quite decent.

The Celeron 847 in that Proline PNUC280H is a bad joke though. Even an Atom Z8300 is more powerful. Your G3930 is 3x faster by comparison.
So what can this NUC be good for though?

Not really sure to be honest. Emails, word processing and basic web browsing. Youtube at 360p, that sort of thing. I think the main focus was low power consumption on a budget more than anything else.
Stay away from Celerons and Atoms.
Somewhere you need more power than a raspberry pi, but dont quite need the power of a modern CPU? (Assuming its faster than a raspbeery pi)

Ah yes, all these people chiming in about Celerons being cr@ptastic. Bet they haven't used a 33xx series or higher. Or they compare it to their i5/i7 systems and expect it to be the same.
Any of the naysayers need more info than that, just further proves they haven't used a newer model yet.
That NUC's celeron is horribly slow though.

and lots of other things / jobs e.g. torrenting and other web frontends.
Also may be useful for streaming e.g. dstv now / showmax which will usually need a certified android device which is not an issue on the windows platform.
Agreed. The Celeron 847 should have a lot more uses if you apply your mind to it though, provided they are not resource intensive.

I'm actually not even sure the Celeron 845 even has enough power to stream DSTV Now via the browser properly. Perhaps on the low/medium setting it should be okay, but 720p and up would be a stretch.

Should not be a stretch if you go by this and this post in the steam community
edit: lol check this although this setup is Celeron 847 with Intel HD Graphics (Sandy Bridge) 32mb VRam 4GB of RAM, Graphics low Resolution (1280x600) and gets 16-20 FPS
Compared to above examples the Proline Nuc on sale only has 2GB RAM though
