Hello,

I’d like a mini pc that I can just connect to the HDMI port, where I could watch 4K movies without the need to plug anything else on it except keyboard, mouse, or remote control.

Any recommendation for a mini pc like this or any disadvantage of doing it this way ?

Thanks !!!

    No or limited upgrade paths, but they’re relatively cheap for running something like OSMC or LibreELEC. 4k might be a struggle for some of the cheaper ones. Depending on the TV you may need a short HDMI extension cable because plugging the bulky HDMI connector directly into the tv can be an issue or block other HDMI ports. Recommend a USB mouse keyboard instead of Bluetooth and maybe a USB extension so the USB mouse/keyboard receiver has a direct line of sight to the couch.
