Is there any benefit of using a laptop rather than a pi?
- MisterTea 2y agoUsed laptops are cheaper than Pi's.
- carltheperson 2y agoThe benefit for me was that I already had an old laptop lying around. :) I'm sure a Pi could work well for this too. It just needs to be powerful enough to display websites and videos smoothly.
- bearen 2y agoAhh I see. You are indeed right about the power. I will give it a try some time and share under this comment if everything is OK with the PI or not. Thanks for the article and the reply!
- M95D 2y agoA Pi would probably not be allowed full HD quality on most web streaming sites, it would not have hardware accelerated decoding of the DRM'ed video stream and the CPU is probably too weak to do software decoding.
