So I been in the neighborhood of wanting to nab my mother a cool little computer by computer I mean a computer stick.

 

You know like those Intel ones and what not. And I was wondering which one is the " Best "  I mean each one certainly has it's own pros and cons but which one has the best performance. I simply want to get for her so that way she can use it as a media device. By that I mean am going to install KODI on it and let her use it to watch TV series, Movies and maybe surf the webs and stuff like that.

 

so any good ideas ?

NEVER GIVE UP. NEVER STOP LEARNING. DONT LET THE PAST HURT YOU. YOU CAN DOOOOO IT

There's one that runs Chrome OS, it's an Asus stick I think, Austin Evans did a video comparing the Intel Compute Stick and this other one. Probably better for light tasks, Chrome OS is optimised for simpler tasks.

 

EDIT: Just found it, it's called the Asus Chromebithttp://amzn.to/1NaHX2f

Never trust Austin Evans his reviews suck and they're never accurate.
