Desktop PCs are great for gaming. However, some of us would rather play in the living room, where we can sink into a couch, prop up our feet, and watch the action go down on a big-screen television. Modern gaming PCs work pretty well from the couch, too, but they're far from the only option in the living room. Consoles also compete in that space, and mobile devices like tablets have become formidable gaming platforms in their own right.

 

Most folks probably have at least a couple of gaming machines that work on the couch. I am curious about which one is your favorite. Do you prefer living-room gaming on a PC, one of the various consoles, or a mobile device? You can cast your vote above.

Raspberry Pi 3 running raspbian-lite with moonlight embedded installed streaming my gaming pc. all for the cost of £30 so ye thats in my opion the best option and it still has full dektop functionality with browser and shit when ur not in the stream session so ye works like a charm.

 

can game both with Keyboard & Mouse or Controller.

I am not a professional. I am not an expert. I am just a smartass. Don't try and blame me if you break something when acting upon my advice.
