So  my wife  wants  to  navigate  the web, watch shows  from  streaming website ( yes I know.... illegal...) and thats about it.
Does  a thing  like FIretv does  that?   I dont own a   Smart tv ( but my tvs  have hdmi ports...)  what exactly does  a device  allows me to do  vs a  standard Laptop Hooked onto a tv?

No, theres no web browser to my knowledge. It just has a library of popular streaming service apps.

 

You'll be better off getting a cheap pc and a wireless keyboard with a touchpad

Not entirely true on the Samsung Smart TV I can get putlocker up and to watch a movie, but closing the ads is a different story with the remote!
