For your application, I would suggest either a thin client/small business server setup or a "pc on a stick" solution.

The advantage of the former is that you can have one more powerful server that just serves up a desktop remotely and the other is that it's ultra compact.

I have a slightly higher model of this one:

These are more "business-oriented" solutions, so the support options are better and they're tough as nails. Seriously, this thing is a brick. HP also has tiny computers/thin clients.

If you keep an eye on Dell/Lenovo outlet sites, you can find coupons, cash back with Ebates, etc and good deals on modest servers. What you want is a server that facilitates all of your data being run off of and/or backed up to a cloud service.

This might also work for you:

You can get an Intel Compute stick for $45. It has a "Bay Trail" processor. Though Ubuntu 14.04 LTS probably doesn't run Vulkan. I put Fedora 25 on mine and it works great (except the Wi-Fi).

Any Bay Trail laptop will run Vulkan, such as the Acer R11 for $250 or so.

$48 USD Compute stick with 1GB ram

Not the best reviews but shouldn't need much juice for displaying websites without user interaction

A computing stick would work for your needs. Attach a USB 2.0 port splitter, and attach multiple devices to it. It's a full on computer, but plugs into your TV's HDMI port.

There isnt an official one, and I suspect that the one on Roku hasn't been updated to be compatible with the new backend.

You can get one of the new model Chromecast (the older ones will stutter), or there's these which I bet would give good access via the website, since it's just running Windows 10.

Right now you can get an Intel Compute Stick off of Amazon for $35. It only has 1GB of RAM and 8GB of storage but it can take up to 128GB of microSD storage if you want to expand that. If I hadn't just got a RasPi Zero W I would have bought this instead as a solution for rsync backups.

Personally I think it's an alright deal for a very cheap x86 board that's 64 bit and comes with Ubuntu installed.

Okay, when you said mini computer I was concenred you were talking about something like this which in my mind would not be a good choice.

Appears to have a usb input. Runs Ubuntu but there are others that run Windows


I just want this thing to be able to stream a live feed to the TV (I’m a dentist, using this for patient education). Not trying to capture or manipulate/save images
